Deputy President Paul Mashatile has submitted his response to the Joint Committee on Ethics over allegations of corruption.<\/p>\n
This was after the Ethics Committee wrote to Mashatile to ask him to answer on allegations of corruption.<\/p>\n
This followed a complaint lodged by the official opposition that Mashatile has to answer to reports that he was involved in alleged corruption related to millions of rands.<\/p>\n
The Democratic Alliance (DA) alleged that Mashatile failed to disclose to the committee properties worth millions of rands in Cape Town and Johannesburg.<\/p>\n
Mashatile\u2019s spokesperson Keith Khoza said on Monday the deputy president has submitted his response to the committee.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, he did meet the deadline for submission,\u201d said Khoza.<\/p>\n
Mashatile had told Parliament a few weeks ago that he was going to respond to the questions sent to him by the committee to answer on corruption allegations.<\/p>\n
At the time, Mashatile said the Ethics Committee had asked that he must answer within seven days.<\/p>\n
Mashatile has in the last few months been in the public domain over corruption allegations against him.<\/p>\n
It was alleged some of his relatives had benefited from tenders.<\/p>\n
But Mashatile has denied that he was allegedly involved in corrupt dealings.<\/p>\n
He said he would provide the ethics committee with the answers it wants.<\/p>\n
