Mabuyane to make announcement on arrested Health MEC ‘soon’
Eastern Cape Premier Oscar Mabuyane has vowed to make an announcement soon on the future of the province’s Health MEC Sindiswa Gomba.
Gomba is among the fifteen suspects who appeared in the East London Magistrate’s Court on Friday in connection with the misappropriation of funds meant for former president Nelson Mandela’s funeral service.
The premier’s spokesperson Mvusiwekhaya Sicwetsha says the charges against Gomba is a serious matter.
"Now that Ms Gomba has been charged by the NPA and was released on bail, the Premier will look into this matter, and he will communicate his decision to the people of the province soon.
"It is worth noting that when Premier appointed Ms Gomba into this position, she was not facing any charges because the NPA provisionally withdrew charges against her."
