Justice Minister Thembi Simelane has been called by the African National Congress (ANC) to appear before its Integrity Commission, on Wednesday.

Earlier this month, Simelane appeared before the Justice Portfolio Committee, and she is scheduled to meet with President Cyril Ramaphosa, relating to her alleged corrupt involvement with a VBS Mutual Bank loan.

It was alleged that while serving as the mayor of Polokwane in 2016, Simelane took a loan of R575 600 from Gundo Wealth Solutions, the company that brokered “unlawful” investments of R349-million into VBS Bank on behalf of the Polokwane municipality, amongst others.

Political parties have been calling for Simelane to step aside from her ministerial role while the allegations against her are investigated.

ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula said Simelane’s appearance before the Integrity Commission would allow her to state her case, as a way to preserve the integrity of ANC members.

The meeting would not be open to the public but Mbalula said developments would be communicated.
