The DA understands that at least four companies that the SIU is investigating for corruption have received contracts worth millions.
Despite pledges that shady companies implicated in the Tembisa Hospital corruption would be blacklisted, the DA understands that at least four companies that the SIU is investigating have received contracts worth R1.2 million in the last three months.
“Last month the MEC responded to the call by the ‘Justice for Babita’ petition to blacklist implicated companies by stating that Blacklisting can only be done after the outcome of the investigation; however, measures have been put in place to ensure there is no re-occurrence and not to procure to the affected companies.”
Meiday Trading and Projects got seven contracts worth R447 000 on 14 August this year to supply meat to the Sebokeng Hospital. Malito got six contracts on 14 September to supply 41 pairs of shoes costing R38 950 to Tambo Memorial Hospital.
