CAPE TOWN - The Eastern Cape Health Department denied allegations of corruption and fraud linked to a dodgy COVID-19 tender.

The Daily Dispatch on Saturday published an article regarding a tender that was allegedly awarded to an East London businessman who has been dead for two years.

The provincial government recently disclosed a list of more than 600 vendors employed for the procurement of COVID-19 related services. The health department’s superintendent-general, Dr Thobile Mbengashe however, says the company was not awarded a PPE tender. He said the list of vendors were disclosed to ensure the procurement process is transparent and available for any review.
