The Gauteng health department owes suppliers about R4.7 billion, some of it dating back to 2017

While the department said the delays in payments were because its records were destroyed in the 2018 fire at its head office in the Bank of Lisbon Building in Johannesburg, the DA blamed this on incompetence.

He said Nolutshungu had conceded that the province’s poor record keeping had resulted in the suppliers being owed about R6 billion, a figure disputed by the department.“According to our financial records, the total owing to service providers is R4 722 382,” said provincial health spokesperson Kwara Kekana on Thursday.She said the department verified the suppliers as the financial records were kept in the online SAP system managed by the Gauteng Provincial Treasury.

A few years back, the department had a plan to pay the suppliers in a space of three years and that has not happened. Bloom said it was an excuse to blame the fire for the poor financial mismanagement that had afflicted the department for many years.
