Minister Simelane’s fate lies in hands of President: Mbalula

ANC Secretary- General Fikile Mbalula says Thembi Simelane’s fate as the Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development lies in the hands of President Cyril Ramaphosa.

Mbalula’s comments follow corruption allegations levelled against Simelane who received half a million rand from a broker that canvassed for loans from VBS.

Mbalula says that Simelane will be subjected to the ANC’s integrity commission.

“So in as far as how she is affected by the debacle in relation to her responsibilities as a minister, playing an executive role in terms of the cabinet of the country, that is the prerogative of the President to deal with. Whether or not this minister is fit, given the report that is on the table, to continue.”
