The North West Department of Health owes at least 50 companies millions of rand for supply of medicine, MEC Madoda Sambatha said.

Rustenburg -

He said the a team from the provincial head office led by administrator Jeanette Hunter raided offices at the Mmabatho medical depot on Wednesday. "One unpaid invoice that was found at the medical depot in a drawer was worth more than R16m. The department can confirm that all the invoices will be verified before payment be processed," he said.

The level started dropping at the beginning of the year and some companies stopped delivering medicine in March 2020 citing non-payment of invoices."The department then got technical assistance to speed up payment of suppliers. Through that intervention it has come to the attention of the department that a number of invoices are missing.
