Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Communications and Digital Technologies, Khusela Diko, has provided an opportunity to Communications and Digital Technologies Minister Solly Malatsi to provide a comprehensive written response to reports of his engagements with Resolve Communications and Starlink.
Parliament has given Communications and Digital Technologies Minister Solly Malatsi until next Monday to clarify his reported engagements with former DA leader Tony Leon's public relations firm, Resolve Communications, and satellite-based internet network, Starlink.
Khusela Diko, who is the chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Communications and Digital Technologies, made the request to Malatsi, which was followed by reports on allegations contained in recent media reports regarding reported engagements between him, Resolve Communications, and Starlink.
This takes place as ActionSA lodged a complaint with the Office of the Public Protector on Thursday.
This came days after former DA leader and now Trade, Industry and Competition Deputy Minister John Steenhuisen told News24 that Resolve Communications used its proximity to senior DA leaders to facilitate meetings between DA ministers and its private sector clients, including Elon Musk's Starlink.
