Fs Premiers Office Concerned About Newspaper Report

Free State Premiers Office says they have noted with concern a newspaper report that they believe is in contravention of the Protection of Personal Information POPI Act.

The report says Acting premier Jabu Mbalula is insolvent and under debt administration, and was appointed without a proper vetting process.

It says Mbalula allegedly did not disclose the information when he was appointed as Community Safety, Roads and Transport MEC.

The Premiers spokesperson Matshidiso Setai says he will seek legal advice on the way forward.

Setai also says Mbalula subjected himself to the vetting process and was cleared to serve as a member of provincial legislature.
