Over R2 billion has been allegedly stolen from the hospital, through syndicates working with corrupt officials to manipulate the tender system. The Forum called on the Investigation Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) to immediately arrest those implicated, including alleged kingpin Hangwani Maumela.
Forum spokesperson Dennis Bloem emphasised that they were calling on IDAC to act against looters because people have died in the process. “We cannot read this thing lightly and think that things must just go. When we are listening to the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry, and to the Ad hoc Committee, you can see there is serious problems in the criminal justice system. Not only in the police, but the entire criminal justice system,” said Bloem.
