President Cyril Ramaphosa’s Cabinet has lambasted the individuals and companies who looted billions of Covid-19 funds and urged all law enforcement agencies to ensure they are jailed.

Johannesburg –

Mthembu said Cabinet has mourned the loss of three Tshwane Metro Police officers who died after being hit by a drunk driver. He also praised the quick action of the Inter-Ministerial Committee led by Justice Minister Ronald Lamola which published the list of all Covid-19 procurement in municipalities, national and provincial governments as well as state owned entities.

When Ramaphosa announced the committee last month, he received a backlash from most of the opposition, especially the DA and EFF.
