Minister suspends nine officials for alleged involvement in fraud and corruption

Chairperson of the portfolio committee on small business development Ruth Bhengu applauded Zulu's swift action against the officials, saying corruption in government should be uprooted and those fingered in the forensic report should be criminally charged.

“History will judge us harshly if we fail to remove corrupt officials who sabotage government programmes designed to uplift those who are poor and struggling to get out of poverty,’’ Bhengu said. According to Bhengu, during oversight visits between 2014 and 2017 to KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, Gauteng, Limpopo and Mpumalanga, the committee found that grants from the department that were meant for small, medium and micro-enterprises, as well as cooperatives, did not have a positive impact on the beneficiaries.

She said many frustrated entrepreneurs and cooperative members had struggled to"get off the ground", despite having received grants.
