Gauteng Health MEC Dr Bandile Masuku faces a daunting challenge to convince the Gauteng ANC executive committee that he had no role in the alleged irregular award of R125million tenders to his family friend.

Johannesburg -

Nkomo-Ralehoko further said adjudications of tenders in public would be suspended until the lockdown period ceased.

“Initially, when it all started, the agreement was that the procurement of PPEs for Education and Health will be centralised in Health,” Masebe said.
