EWN reports that the Democratic Alliance (DA) in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) on Monday laid charges against Health MEC Nomagugu Simelane-Zulu for transgressing Covid-19 regulations.
The MEC recently came under fire after visuals of herself and others flouting Covid-19 social distancing and masking regulations at a party came to light. On the weekend, Premier Sihle Zikalala ordered the MEC to make a public apology within a week's time, while 50% of her salary has been docked. The DA in the province took the matter even further and opened a case against Simelane-Zulu. The party's Francois Rodgers said: “Charges were laid by the spokesperson on heath and we now call upon the police to investigate the matter and investigate it thoroughly and ensure that justice prevails.”
