OWN CORRESPONDENT, Johannesburg | Friday 1.20pm.
THE Moerane commission into alleged irregularities in the department of former Gauteng safety and security MEC Jessie Duarte said on Thursday that there is a strong suspicion that Duarte was implicated in a cover-up of the accident she was involved in while driving her official vehicle.
“However, a suspicion, even a strong one, does not amount to the quantum of evidence we require to make a positive finding,” the commission’s report states.
Safety and security standing committee chairman Pule Malefane said on Thursday that the report will be tabled in the provincial legislature next week. He added that the report is now a public document.
