The controversial PPE tender awarded to Ledla Structural Development has been cancelled

The controversial PPE tender awarded to Ledla Structural Development has been cancelled, in a ruling by the Special Tribunal of South Africa. The matter was brought to the tribunal by the Special Investigating Unit which also requested that the 38 million Rand paid out to the company and then distributed to six other entities, be frozen. The tender was clouded with allegations of nepotism and corruption earlier this year and cost Health MEC Bandile Masuku his job. Judge Billy Motlhe also upheld the application to freeze the pension payout of former Health Department Chief Financial Officer Mantsu Lehloenya. We spoke to Advocate Selby Makgatho, spokesperson for the Special Tribunal of South Africa.
