Pretoria - The Minister of Defence and Military Veterans, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, has launched an independent investigation into allegations regarding the SANDFâs intelligence division purchasing of a controversial drug, Interferon-B, from Cuba for R215ââmillion.
The minister announced that the task team would consist of former inspector-general of intelligence Zola Ngcakani as chairperson working with two other officials to look into the allegations that arose late last year over the buying of the drug, intended for treating Covid-19.
Mapisa-Nqakula said she expected the team to prepare a report within six months, with recommendations to address any wrongdoing uncovered â whether of a criminal or disciplinary nature, and to also include broader recommendations on how to stop such behaviour and prevent it in the future should any of the allegations be confirmed.
