ANC bigwig scores R14.5m contracts from Tembisa Hospital
6 August 2022
ANC bigwig Sello Sekhokho scored R14.5 million in 55 contracts from Tembisa Hospital in the last three years, selling cleaning material, protective clothing, medical consumables, office supplies and groceries.
This is revealed by Gauteng Health MEC Nomathemba Mokgethi in a written reply to my questions in the Gauteng Legislature.
Sekhokho is the treasurer-general of the ANC’s Ekurhuleni region. His three companies - Kaizen Projects, Nokokhokho Medical Supplies and Bollanoto Security - got R2.8 million in contracts in 2019, R4.2 million in 2020, and a whopping R7.5 million last year when Dr Ashley Mthunzi took over as hospital CEO.
Mthunzi is now suspended by the Department following the revelation by a News24 investigation that murdered whistleblower Babita Deokaran had flagged R850 million worth of contracts at the hospital as “possibly fraudulent.”
