GCIS Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane has found no evidence that former Water and Sanitation Minister Nomvula Mokonyane interfered in several water projects. In August 2016, DA MP Leon Basson lodged an official complaint citing that Mokonyane irregularly interfered in projects implemented across the country. Mkhwebane found the allegations were unsubstantiated following a lengthy investigation. Former Water and Sanitation Minister Nomvula Mokonyane has been cleared of accusations that she was irregularly involved in controversial water projects, some worth as much as R3.8 billion. On Monday, Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane released the findings of her investigation into several water projects, in which Mokonyane was alleged to have acted irregularly.
