"I concur with you, there's definitely a lack of ethical leadership. All the legislations are just there for the sake of being there. Dololo implementation from our 'leaders'."

"Use your influence to spark a revolution and stop tweeting for likes."

"Let's call @CyrilRamaphosa directly like we used to do to Zuma, he is the head of government."
@bradvw_99 added:
"I totally agree with you @MapsMaponyane. Our leaders have no plan. All they do is adjust levels of lockdown and chow money."

SIU investigation implicates Dr Zweli Mkhize in corruption
In related news, Briefly News reported that a Special Investigating Unit (SIU) investigation into the R150 million Digital Vibes contract shows that Health Minister Zweli Mkhize allegedly pressured officials within the ministry to contract the company tied to his close associates. Sunday Times broke the news on Sunday.
According to News24, the Minister of Health, who is now on special leave, will be interviewed by the SIU in regards to his involvement in the Digital Vibes scandal this week.
In 2019, the Department of Health initially hired Digital Vibes for the National Health Insurance (NHI) campaign, and this is when Mkhize allegedly pressured officials to choose Digital Vibes for the R150 million communications contract.
According to IOL, it has been alleged that after receiving payment from the department for the tender deal, Digital Vibes funded an electrical installation project at Mkhize's residence in Johannesburg and purchased a vehicle for Mkhize's son, Dedani.
