He said the ANC had accepted Kodwa's resignation.
The former minister of sports, arts and recreation and his co-accused, businessman Jehan Mackay, appeared in court for corruption and were instructed to avoid contact with the six witnesses who will testify for the state.
The state alleges that Kodwa received R1.68m from Mackay, including payments for seaside villas in an upmarket area in Cape Town between April 2015 and February 2016. This was in exchange for IT software tender.
