Public Apology

As directed by the Premier of KwaZulu-Natal, I, Nomagugu Simelane, hereby wish to tender a public apology for having being less than ethical or exemplary in my conduct, as has been found by the Premier.

I respect all of the Premier's utterances and sanctions without reservation and will, henceforth, abide by them fully as I am fully aware of the responsibility that I hold as well as the purpose and intention of the COVID-19 regulations.

As we remain confronted by the third wave of COVID – 19 infections, it is time for us not to be deterred; but to instead unite, strengthen our systems, and fight even harder than before, in order to save as many lives as possible.

ENDS Issued on behalf of KwaZulu-Natal Health MEC Ms Nomagugu Simelane
