‘Difficult period for me but I think there is a lot I’ve learnt’ – Zizi Kodwa

Kodwa

Cape Town – Former minister of sports, arts, and culture Zizi Kodwa days he is not seeking any position following the withdrawal of corruption charges against him.

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) dropped the State Capture-related charges in October, citing diminished prospects of a successful prosecution.

The State announced the decision by the Director of Public Prosecutions in the Commercial Crime Court early in November.

Kodwa, who was out on R30,000 bail, declared himself “officially a free man” at the time and said that he is open to job opportunities.

According to SABC, Kodwa, spoke at the ANC NWC meeting with the KZN PEC on Monday and expressed his happiness to return and serve the organisation despite the difficult period he faced.

He emphasised that he was not entitled to any position but was motivated by his election to the NWC and NEC at the 55th ANC conference. 

“Difficult period for me but I think there is a lot I have learnt from that period. I am not entitled to any position, and I am very clear about it. But I am here now because I am elected by the 55th conference of the ANC, both as the member of the NWC and the NEC, that’s what excites me to be back again in the structures of the ANC, to help contribute towards building the ANC,” the report quoted Kodwa as saying.
