How much knowledge should an MEC have?

Former cabinet minister and Free State Housing MEC, Mosebenzi Zwane, told the State Capture Inquiry on Friday that he didn't know that creating a database, used to pick and choose contractors for housing projects, was illegal.

Zwane admitted the contracts for a R1 billion housing project were eventually selected and approved without any tender processes.

To discuss this further, we spoke to William Gumede, Associate Professor for the School of Governance at Wits University.
