Radebe denies allegations of corruption regarding his Necsa actions
Energy Minister Jeff Radebe has emphatically denied imputations that his dismissal of the previous board of the South African Nuclear Energy Corporation (Necsa) was motivated by a desire for personal enrichment. These allegations were "complete balderdash" he told a media briefing held in Pretoria, on Friday.
In a press statement released on Thursday, Demcratic Alliance MP Gwen Ngwenya stated that "the Minister needs to answer whether there is a deal with a foreign company involving Necsa/NTP Radioisotopes, from which the Minister stands to financially benefit – or from which he has already benefitted. . . . [W]e urge the Minister to be transparent in his dealings."
When asked by a journalist from eNCA TV news to clearly deny the allegations, Radebe complied. "eNCA, I can tell you right now, that thing is balderdash . . . that allegation has no basis whatsoever."
