The Democratic Alliance has asked for a public explanation as to why charges have been dropped against two KwaZulu-Natal ANC officials implicated in a fraud and corruption case.
DA provincial leader, Sizwe Mchunu says KZN Premier, Zweli Mkhize should ensure that this happened in the interest of transparency.
The National Prosecuting Authority announced earlier that acting provincial director of public prosecutions, Moipone Noko had withdrawn charges against six people, including two ANC officials accused of fraud and corruption in the Intaka case.
Mchunu says the withdrawal of the charges against speaker, Peggy Nkonyeni and economic development MEC, Mike Mabuya-kulu will leave gaping holes in the State's case and will make a mockery of any effort to bring those implicated in the Intaka scandal to book.
They were linked to the sale of water purification plants to the KwaZulu-Natal health department, allegedly at inflated prices.
