“Makhura has been inexplicably slow in suspending Lukhele, who is the accounting officer for the department and was plainly derelict in his duty to ensure that proper procurement procedures were followed,” the DA’s MPL Jack Bloom said.

The DA in Gauteng has called on premier David Makhura to immediately suspend the province's health head, Prof Mkululi Lukhele.at the weekend that Lukhele was allegedly implicated by the Special Investigating Unit in the irregular award of personal protective equipment contracts.

Bloom called for the SIU reports to be made public and criminal charges instituted against all those implicated in corruption. Last week Makhura told TimesLIVE that the provincial government has already initiated disciplinary steps and civil action against senior government officials implicated in wrongdoing in line with the SIU progress report.

Their leave of absence has been extended as they deal with the contents of a report on their conduct by the party’s integrity commission.

‘I held on for dear life’: mom as man grabs daughter through car windowA mother had to hold on for “dear life” to her three-year-old daughter’s legs when a man grabbed the child through an open car window at an intersection in Gauteng. Trafficking is getting out of hand and it’s happening publicly but our govt doesn’t care, a whole minister will still say it does not exist saying it is not a crisis. I think it’s time to take things into our own hands clearly we are governed by criminals too. Last week's news. Do bystanders who witness this have the right to shoot these lowlifes? I won't hesitate even if I have to run them down like a sick dog with my car
