The red berets say the tender system in SA should be scrapped and the state should build capacity to manufacture goods and provide services.

The EFF have called for the “immediate dismissal” of President Cyril Ramaphosa‘s spokesperson, Khusela Diko, after a company owned by her husband reportedly scored a multimillion-rand contract to supply Personal Protective Equipment to the Gauteng department of health for the Covid-19 pandemic.

In a written response to the Sunday Independent, Diko said: “Royal Bhaca Projects does not have a contract with the Department of Health. The company has also not been paid anything by the Department of Health. However, the department’s Covid-19 expenditure report shows that Royal Bhaca was awarded another R47m PPE contract on March 30, two days before it got the one for R78m on April 1.
