Gauteng Premier has taken aim at officials in his health department.
David Makhura said he is embarrassed that Bandile Masuku, Health MEC has been implicated in a PPE tender corruption to the tune of R125 million.
Makhura also said that while allegations have not been proven, a broader investigation is needed to determine the extent of the corruption.
The CFO of Gauteng's health department has resigned and Masuku has been placed on special leave.
“
Yes, we are looking at our own officials, definitely. These companies would have not gotten the work if the rot is not in government.”
