According to the publication, Digital Vibes won the tender irregularly and later employed Tahera Mather, a long-serving spokesperson and alleged family friend of Mkhize, as a consultant.

In parliament on Friday, Buthelezi said: “There are a few contracts we have been working on that were flagged by the auditor-general and we had commissioned a forensic investigation into them. Digital Vibes is one of them.

“There are actually two and I have received the first report that has been finalised by the auditing firm. We will be doing a full report at a later stage on these matters.” Buthelezi and deputy health minister Joe Phaahla were updating parliament on the nationwide Covid-19 vaccine rollout. Members of the health portfolio committee asked the pair to update the nation on the status of the investigation into Digital Vibes.

According to Sunday Times, SIU head Andy Mothibi reportedly said the inquiry into the company was still at a very early stage.“We have shared information with the SIU in terms of the work we have been doing. We have linked the SIU with the auditing firm dealing with Digital Vibes. I have been in constant communication with them and they are working together with the SIU. We do not want to pre-empt that investigation,” he said.
