Nxesi challenges Mthunzi Mdwaba to bring evidence on alleged corruption

Minister of Employment and Labour Thulas Nxesi Nxesi has urged businessman Mthunzi Mdwaba to bring evidence in court that he is implicated in the R500 million kickback scandal with other ministers.

Mdwaba has named Nxesi, Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande, Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana, and ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula as four politicians who tried to solicit a bribe of R500 million through intermediaries.

The politicians have taken legal action against Mdwaba. Nzimande laid criminal charges against him in Pretoria this week for failing to report corruption.

Nxesi, who was part of the Ministers in the Economics Cluster answering questions in Parliament on Wednesday, said Mdwaba must stop going to social media to report on alleged corruption against him.

He challenged him to bring evidence to court.
