Gauteng Premier, David Makhura wants those implicated in PPE corruption to be sent to jail

SAfm — Gauteng Premier, David Makhura, says there's been incidents of corruption in Gauteng but nothing close to the scale and magnitude of the Covid-19 personal protective equipment scandal. He wants those implicated in PPE corruption to be sent to jail and the stolen monies recovered. Two Gauteng Health Department officials, believed to be at the centre of the scandal, have been identified by the Special Investigations Unit. One official has resigned and another has been suspended. One of the PPE contracts, reportedly worth 125-million rand, had allegedly been awarded to Thandisizwe Diko, the husband of president Cyril Ramaphosa's spokesperson Khusela Diko.
