Health minister Dr. Zweli Mkhize had been a beacon of hope during the uncertainty of the Covid-19 pandemic. He also seems to have become another casualty in South Africa’s other virus; corruption. So who is Dr Zweli Mkhize? In retrospect there were signs of corrupt behaviour leading up to allegations that Mkhize benefited from a tender his department awarded.
1956: Zweli Mkhize was born in Pietermaritzburg.
1982: He qualified as a medical doctor at age 26 at what was then known as the University of Natal. He was forced into exile in Swaziland, then later in Zimbabwe before returning home in 1991.
The police minister announced that eight suspects arrested for the brutal slaying of former ANCYL secretary-general Sindiso Magaqa will be tried on July 19.
Police Minister Bheki Cele says the murder accused in the case of #SindisoMagaqa will have their day in court next month. But those close to the former youth league insist police have the wrong men.
