Odyssey currently tracks 42 public-record rows. The latest C2 sweep added three newer direct-primary SIU matters, while some legacy rows still cite documented secondary reporting or generic agency landing pages. Row-level primary-source and status reconciliation remains incomplete.
Evidence status is dataset-family level. Row-level and field-level source labels still control where they are more specific.
Digital Vibes COVID/NHI Contract Corruption is tracked with a matter-specific row value of R150 million in Gauteng. Case-stage and asset-status semantics remain pending legacy reconciliation. Odyssey does not infer that the row value equals the amount frozen, forfeited, recovered or lost unless the cited record says so. The cited matter relates to the National Department of Health. The cited source names or links 4 people or entities to the matter, including Dedani Mkhize, Sithokozile Khalipele Mkhize, May Mkhize and 1 others; inclusion here does not independently establish guilt or a final adverse finding.
The SIU sought to set aside R150 million in Department of Health media contracts awarded irregularly to Digital Vibes for COVID-19 and NHI campaigns. Approximately R5 million was funneled to companies owned by former Health Minister Zweli Mkhize's son and wife. The Special Tribunal allowed adding Mkhize family companies to the recovery application.
Naming/linkage in the cited record does not independently establish guilt or a final adverse finding.

Entries summarise cited public records, which can include preservation or forfeiture orders, charges, investigations, judgments and settlements. Statuses are source-bounded; inclusion does not by itself establish criminal guilt or a final finding against a named person or entity.
Tracked row value reflects the value referenced in the cited record. The headline is the arithmetic sum of each tracked row’s matter-specific value. Rows can refer to preserved or forfeited assets, alleged scheme or contract values, repayments, restrained funds or other source-defined amounts. It is not a national corruption total, a recovered-assets total, or a de-duplicated measure of public loss.
Some legacy rows still cite documented secondary sources or generic agency pages rather than a direct case-level primary source. Updated manually — may not reflect the latest case developments.
