We have convened this public briefing today to announce that a variant of the SARS-COV-2 Virus- currently termed 501.V2 Variant has been identified by our genomics scientists here in South Africa.
#SARSCOV2MediaBriefing
This genomics team, led by the Kwazulu-Natal Research Innovation and Sequencing Platform, or KRISP, has sequenced hundreds of samples from across the country since the beginning of the pandemic in March. #SARSCOV2MediaBriefing
Clinicians have been providing anecdotal evidence of a shift in the clinical epidemiological picture- in particular noting that they are seeing a larger proportion of younger patients with no co-morbidities presenting with critical illness. #SARSCOV2MediaBriefing

RESPONSE TO LUCKY MONTANA’S VARIOUS MEDIA INTERVIEWS

10 November 2020

Dr Zweli Mkhize has noted media reports by Mr Lucky Montana in relation to alleged donations to the ANC during his tenure as the ANC Treasurer General.
Dr Mkhize and the ANC have previously issued statements on this matter refuting the allegations that it had appointed individuals to receive and channel monies on behalf of the ANC, flowing from the PRASA Swifambo tender.
In fact, in February 2018, Dr Mkhize also provided a statement to the Public Enterprise Parliamentary Portfolio Committee chaired by Ms Zukiswa Rantho at the time, with a statement giving a detailed account and response to these unfounded and false allegations by Mr Montana.

Message From Dr Zweli Mkhize

21 October 2020

I wish to take this opportunity to appreciate all the well wishes that my wife and I have received from you, my fellow South Africans, colleagues and friends from all over the world.
I want to assure you that we are improving each day. I remain in quarantine at home, I am resting and recuperating with only a cough remaining from my previous symptoms.
I’m also very pleased that my wife has been discharged from hospital today and will now be joining me for quarantine at home.

In a war, when an injured soldier lies down to recover, injuries do not remove his mindset from the set goal to win the battle.

DR ZWELI MKHIZE TESTS POSITIVE FOR COVID-19

18/10/20

I wish to inform the public that this afternoon my wife, Dr May Mkhize and I have tested positive for COVID-19.

We decided to go test yesterday when I started showing mild symptoms.
I was feeling abnormally exhausted and as the day progressed, I started losing appetite. My wife had a cough, was dizzy and extremely exhausted. Given her symptoms, the doctors advised that she must be admitted for observation and rehydration.
Our close contacts in the past week have been a few of our family members and some of my Health Ministry team. We have informed them and advised them to immediately isolate in their homes and be tested.

STATEMENT BY DR ZWELINI MKHIZE ON EDWIN SODI’S DONATIONS TO THE ANC

2 October 2020

I have received various media queries regarding the payment of R6,5million made by Mr Edwin Sodi and wherein my name, Zweli Mkhize, has been put as a reference.
I wish to categorically state I have never received any funds from Mr Sodi, either personally or through a third party intended for my personal benefit.
I can confirm that during my tenure as the ANC Treasurer General, Mr Sodi, just like many other business persons, companies and organizations made donations to the African National Congress.
