He is the Deputy Minister of State Security of the Republic of South Africa.[2]
On 29 April 2022, part four of the Zondo Commission report recommended that President Cyril Ramaphosa should "consider" Kodwa's position as Deputy Minister of State Security, due to Kodwa's relationship with controversial and allegedly corrupt businessman Jehan Mackay.[3] Kodwa responded that he would take the report "on notice" pending further investigation.[4]
