Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The Limpopo Department of Health is facing yet another probe by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) into corruption and maladministration – this time related to waste management contracts.<\/p>\n

The probe was authorised by President Cyril Ramaphosa through proclamation R55 of 2022. The proclamation covered offences which took place between 1 January 2010 and 18 March 2022.<\/p>\n

The probe comes just after the SIU made damning findings in its investigation related to the R125 million personal protective equipment (PPE) scandal in the provincial health department.<\/p>\n

Tender fraud: SIU confiscates property, luxury vehicles worth R21.8m from City of Ekurhuleni<\/p>\n

The findings also implicated senior officials – head of department Thokozani Mhlongo and chief financial officer Justice Mudau. The SIU had already laid criminal charges against them.<\/p>\n

In a statement, SIU spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago said the latest investigation would focus on the contracting for waste management services in the province.<\/p>\n

He said:<\/p>\n

“Furthermore, the SIU will probe payments which were made in respect thereof in a manner that was not fair, equitable, transparent, competitive or cost-effective or contrary to applicable legislation or circulars or instructions issued by the National Treasury or the relevant provincial treasury,” Kganyago said.<\/p>\n

He said the SIU would refer evidence that pointed to criminal conduct it uncovers during the investigation, to the National Prosecuting Authority for further action.<\/p>\n

The investigation was welcomed by the provincial government which made it clear that the relevant department must cooperate and assist the SIU in the investigation.<\/p>\n

Provincial government spokesperson, Ndavhe Ramakuela, said: “It is upon receiving the recommendations of the investigations that the provincial government will act accordingly.”<\/p>\n
