Deputy Minister of State Security and member of the National Executive Committee of the ANC Zizi Kodwa has been linked to EOH Corruption debacle following presented claims of payments made to him by Former  EOH executive Jehan Mackay. Suspicious payments were made by Mackay, from his personal bank account, to Kodwa and to  former personal assistant to former President Jacob Zuma  Siyabulela Sintwa.
