In a statement, DA Shadow Minister of Health, Siviwe Gwarube said: It is now clear that this looting of public money has happened under the leadership of Dr Mkhize while there is a glaring conflict of interest.
"It cannot be that the very person entrusted with the Covid-19 response in the country is embroiled in this kind of scandal involving public money. Minister Mkhize should step down pending a full Special Investigative Unit (SIU) investigation.
