On Wednesday, President Cyril Ramaphosa made public the report for the media campaign for National Health Insurance and subsequent Covid-19 communications from the SIU.
Kganyago said they were now following up on the recommendations that are contained in the report.
Kganyago also said the corruption-busting unit had also made referrals to the department, and their action had resulted in the suspension of director-general Sandile Buthelezi, and that seven other officials were to be dealt with in terms of disciplinary hearings. The SIU said it received allegations from a whistle-blower regarding potential irregularities in the award by the NHI media campaign and the subsequent Covid-19 media campaign.
