KZN Premier says GBV case involving former DG at advanced stage

KwaZulu-Natal Premier Thami Ntuli says an investigation into the alleged verbal abuse and public humiliation of the former director general in his office, Dr. Nonhlanhla Mkhize by a male subordinate, is at an advanced stage.

Ntuli says the incident, which Mkhize has described as gender-based violence (GBV), only came to light after she resigned at the beginning of the month.

The premier added that the implicated director has also resigned.

Ntuli says he is going ahead with the probe in order to provide the public with answers.

“I think we are at the ripe stage of it. I’ve received already those who witnessed the incident, a report with different versions. But there are still more members who were there. And we are still trying to recover the footage which will show exactly how the events actually unveiled on the day.”
