The DA's call follows a report by a KwaZulu-Natal Sunday newspaper that Mabuyakhulu admitted to receiving a donation of R1-million in cash while he was KZN ANC treasurer from the former provincial treasury head, Sipho Shabalala.

The donation was allegedly from controversial Cape Town businessman Gaston Savoi.

Mabuyakhulu and Nkonyeni are at the centre of a trial popularly known as the "Amigos' Trial" which has been set for June.

The pair face charges of corruption, fraud, money laundering and racketeering. The suspects were allegedly involved in a scam relating to water purification systems sold to the KZN government. The duo face charges along with with Savoi, Shabalala and 18 others.

Shabalala allegedly attained the donation after the provincial government bought water purification systems costing R42-million from Savoi's Intaka Holdings in 2005.

Media reports have claimed that there are moves to have the charges against Mabuyakhulu and Nkonyeni dropped.

DA leader in KZN Sizwe Mchunu said Mkhize had to take action against the accused politicians.

Can't these people from ANC just do the proper job, why can't these people lead by examples. This Mabuyakhulu should be suspended or you only get suspended if you disagree with the 70 year old Polygamist? Why people who steal millions in ANC are not suspended but those who speak their minds are suspended and also fired from ANC? Is the the difference of opinions more important that being a thief?
Is This Nkonyeni the one who destroyed Pietermaritzburg ?, look at Pietermaritzburg its so ugly you would think its a city in a war.

Hayi shem hats off to the DA in the fight against corruption, you guys give me hope that we as a nation shall win this fight, your dedication is commendable.

As for Nkonyeni this name always seems to be appearing in so many corrupt escapades, is this really what majority black SAns vote for, looting?

The guy who admits having received 1mil gift, did he pay tax on the gift? if not why not? and why has the anc not asked SARS to investigate him in the same way that malema is being investigated for tax default? or is it a simply different strokes for different folks? or good old double standards?

But DA please keep the fight against corruption going one day you will be our heroes, cause this corruption is challenge to our national code of morals and ethics.

so you are saying that if you are in political power you can control the judges and the law and probably change the constitution? You don't have a clue about what democracy really means. Shower head and his corrupt, dictator like cronies rely on uninformed people like you to stay in power.

He uses you like his B1tches!
