The alarming depth of Covid-19 funding corruption at Gauteng hospitals has once again been highlighted by a staggering 190% price inflation in a tender awarded to build coronavirus-screening facilities.
“Procedurally, this is how they should conduct bidding for a tender: after they had appointed a company they must file all these documents, including the quotation from the winning company, the second and third best. Speaking on behalf of the hospital and its chief executive, Gauteng Health Department spokesperson Philani Mhlungu rejected claims of corruption at the hospital, adding that Mathaba was not involved in procurement processes, and that a central database was used to source potential service providers.
“Supply chain management expanded the scope of the services and requested all companies that had initially quoted to revise their quotes. These companies were requested to visit Tembisa Hospital to benchmark the type of tent the end user was looking for. Insiders conceded to not knowing how Zabelo was tied to hospital management, if at all, but accused Mathaba of flagrantly misusing taxpayers' money.
