Advocate Mpelegeng Lebeloane, former chief director of legal services, received a massive R4.7 million while sitting at home from July 2019 until last year.Bloom said three senior staff were suspended from 26 January 26, in 2022 for alleged involvement in financial misconduct concerning the refurbishment of the Anglo Ashanti Hospital, in Carletonville.
He said two more officials, who were suspended since July 2022 and currently under investigation by the Special Investigating Unit , and have not been charged yet.“Three officials suspended this year include an admin clerk implicated in a job-selling scam, a medical officer accused of sexual assault, and an admin and logistics clerk facing assault charges.”
