The DA filed the complaint when allegations surfaced that the EFF's Shivambu was embroiled in the grand heist of savings at VBS Bank.
“I write on behalf of the Joint Committee on Ethics and Members’ Interests who at its meeting on 28 September 2023 finalised its deliberations on your complaint dated 18 October 2019 against Hon. Shivambu, MP.”“The committee obtained an affidavit by the liquidator in the VBS liquidation matter which identified that three payments were made to Floyd Shivambu […] by Sgameka Projects Pty Ltd [the company of Shivambu’s brother, Brian] during 2017.
“The Committee has resolved to recommend to the House to impose a reduction of salary of nine days salary,” Gordon said in the letter. The DA first filed the complaint first in 2018 and again in 2019 when allegations surfaced that Shivambu was embroiled in what it called the “grand heist of savings of vulnerable depositors at VBS Bank.”DA Chief Whip Siviwe Gwarube said the party welcomed the findings by the Ethics Committee, “although it has taken the committee four years to complete – because it demonstrates that there can never be one set of rules for some and exemptions for others.
“Shivambu’s failure to declare monies received through VBS cast doubt on all public statements he has made about this matter.
