President Cyril Ramaphosa has authorised the release of the final report of the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) into the National Department of Health's award of a National Health Insurance media campaign and subsequent COVID-19 communications to Digital Vibes.
The President received the report on the so-called Digital Vibes scandal in early July 2021.
The Presidency subsequently sent third-party notices to all persons or entities referred to in the report, so they could have an opportunity to object to its publication or part thereof.
Several applications were received to get access to the report that has now been released in the interest of fairness and in terms of the Promotion to Access of Information Act (PAIA).
In August, the Minister of Health Dr Zwelhi Mkhize resigned from his position following the scandal.
The report consisting of 131 pages is available on the Presidency's website.
