Reading Time: 2 minutes
Deputy Minister of State Security, Zizi Kodwa says he is still consulting legally and politically on the findings of the State Capture Commission against him.
In his latest report Chair of the State Capture Commission, Justice Raymond Zondo recommended that President Cyril Ramaphosa should consider Kodwa’s position.
This follows his implication in questionable transactions between himself and former director at technology group EOH.
Between February 2014 and April 2015, EOH-related entities and Mackay are said to have made cash payments of around R1,6 million to Kodwa and another R30 000 for his benefit.

State Capture Inquiry | Former ANC spokesperson, Zizi Kodwa says money he received was a loan:
The commission’s fourth report points to a beneficial relationship involving personal loans made to him by Mackay and an alleged attempt to buy his influence in the awarding of tenders.

But speaking to the SABC News on the sidelines of the Eastern Cape Provincial Conference in East London, Kodwa said he has done nothing wrong and will consult to clear his name.

“My submission to the commission was that there was no impropriety on my part. What is the finding of the commission? (It) found no evidence of impropriety, and therefore, the recommendation itself was not supported by any finding. Hence, the recommendation is an issue that there is a further consultation. I am doing (something) about it because for someone to start to say reconsider I don’t know what that means that’s why I am saying what is important for me is not so much about the recommendation. It is about the finding itself. The finding is that the commission found no evidence of no impropriety for me. It ends there. There is no process that you must talk to the president when the commission has spoken. If there is a need, we will do that at an appropriate time. At the moment, I don’t see a need to speak to the president.”
