Minister for Public Service and Administration, Ms Ayanda Dlodlo has today, Monday, 11 March 2019, noted the outcome of the ethics committee regarding her non-disclosure of details pertaining to a 2016 trip.
"As the record will show, I have been fully transparent and truthful about my trip and the fact that Mr Hlongwane paid for my accommodation". Says the Minister.
"It was my own admission that served as the basis from which Honourable Van Damme submitted a request to the ethics committee to investigate.
I fully respect the decision of the ethics committee which found that my interpretation of family members fell short of the committee's own definition of a family member in terms of the executive ethics code.
I respect the Parliamentary legal codes and do not wish to act contrary to any of them.
I therefore appreciate and welcome the fact that as part of the sanction, I will be counseled on all aspects of the code". She added
