Who else was involved in Gauteng PPE contracts scandal?

The net continues to widen in the Gauteng PPE contracts scandal after the Public Service Commission’s bombshell report on the appointment of the Gauteng Health Department’s former Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Kabelo Lehloenya.
According to the PSC’s Mike Seloane, a forensic investigation found that her appointment was irregular and unlawful when she was head-hunted for the post in 2018. Furthermore, she did not get a security clearance and was paid the salary of a deputy director-general instead of a minimum entry-level salary.
My view is that there was surely a wide complicity in her appointment and the alleged rigging of multimillion rand contracts for PPE equipment with fishy companies.
