Penuell Maduna is known for his involvement in a controversy while serving as the Minister of Mineral and Energy Affairs in 1997. The incident, often referred to as the “Maduna Affair,” involved allegations made by Maduna against the Auditor-General at the time, Henri Kluever. Maduna faced calls from opposition parties in Parliament to resign over these allegations. The affair raised questions about ministerial responsibility to Parliament in South Africa, including the conventions and practices surrounding individual ministerial accountability[1][2]. The discussions and analyses surrounding this incident provide insights into the challenges and complexities of governance and accountability in the post-apartheid South African political landscape.
