"We are determined to win the war against corruption and maladministration. We owe it to our people and our electoral mandate which is a pact to promote clean governance which delivers on socio economic needs.”
Gauteng was at the centre of a personal protection equipment scandal at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, which saw the irregular awarding of more than R332 million in tenders by the provincial health department
The scandal led to the dismissal of then Health MEC Dr Bandile Masuku and a host of other officials.
