PARLIAMENT has cleared former Health Minister Zweli Mkhize of contravening its Code of Ethics.
The Executive Ethics Committee said on Tuesday that Mkhize cannot be held liable for his adult son benefiting from the controversial Digital Vibes contract.
The committee also found that Mkhize did not personally benefit from the contract.
The committee added that it has now closed the complaint lodged by the Democratic Alliance (DA) against the former health minister.
Digital Vibes and 33 others (joinder application) will on Wednesday hear the verdict of the Special Tribunal in civil proceedings instituted by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU), which accuses the beneficiaries of unjustified enrichment.
The SIU has asked the tribunal to review and set aside the Digital Vibes contract and it also seeks repayment of the R150m.
The SIU claims that the Mkhize’s family received more than R10m from the Digital Vibes contract.
The Special Tribunal is expected to hand down judgment at 10H00.
