According to the Sunday Times, Dhlomo, KwaZulu-Natal's former health MEC, is accused of harassing a parliamentary staff member last month.


The complainant claims Dhlomo had invited him to his official residence in Cape Town to discuss a bill.


He says, instead, the deputy minister made sexual overtures to him. 


The committee says the complaint was tabled at its meeting on Friday.


It has not disclosed further details about the alleged incident, adding the matter will be considered when a subcommittee sits next month.
