Mashatile was again forced to address claims of corruption and media reports in Parliament, dismissing them as mere allegations.  

Deputy President Paul Mashatile says he has no hidden financial and private interests and has declared everything to Parliament.  

Mashatile was again forced to address claims of corruption and media reports in Parliament, dismissing them as mere allegations.  

He said he's more than willing to subject himself to Parliament's Ethics Committee, saying it's already questioned him about allegations of nepotism and failing to declare certain multi-million-rand properties linked to him.
 
Mashatile was responding to oral questions in the National Council of Provinces on Thursday. 

The Deputy President was previously questioned about corruption allegations when he appeared in the National Assembly recently, where he said only the truth would prevail. 

Mashatile said he's gone as far as appointing an official in his office to ensure that all his interests are regularly updated and declared to Parliament.  

He said he's been a Member of Parliament for years and has always declared his personal interests, including his residence and his bank balance.
