A damning SIU report has placed suspended Gauteng health MEC Bandile Masuku firmly at the centre of dodgy Covid-19 PPE tender procurement processes.

“One such example [of informing Masuku] is the fact that during April 2020, the MEC was copied-in on an e-mail by the CFO of the GDoH [Gauteng department of health] in respect of the list of service providers for the supply of PPE, which list clearly indicated that Royal Bhaca, represented by Mr Diko, had been awarded a substantial contract.

The report further states that the investigation into alleged collusion, corruption and involvement by Masuku and his wife Loyiso was ongoing. “Furthermore, the investigation found that the department suffered a loss or fruitless and wasteful expenditure in respect of the three contracts in a total amount of R45,532,709.10,” reads the report.
