This statement serves as a response to the numerous enquiries that I have received regarding an alleged parliamentary list of the MK Party which includes my name.

I wish to distance myself from the said list as I am not a politician. I was neither consulted about the list nor affiliation with the MK Party.

I remain a loyal servant of government as the Director General of the KwaZulu Natal Provincial Government and have no intention of joining active politics.

I hope this will put the matter to rest.

Ends
