KZN Health MEC Nomagugu Simelane has to contribute 50 percent of her salary to a Covid-19 NGO and has been issued a warning.
This comes after a video, showing her and some friends contravening Covid-19 regulations at a party, went viral on social media.
KZN Premier Sihle Zikalala has issued a warning to Simelane following her conduct.
"We have taken the video that in the course of action, the following must be done, the MEC must within seven days issue a public apology for having been at an event where there was flouting of the Covid-19 regulations, said KZN Premier Sihle Zikalala.
"The MEC has already received a warning from the premier. Thirdly we have instructed the provincial treasury to work and ensure that at the next payment cycle, 50% of the MEC's salary is docked and paid to an NGO that fights against Covid-19 in the district where the MEC is the champion."
