Northern Cape yet to decide on the fate of senior health officials facing fraud charges

The Northern Cape provincial government is still deciding whether or not to act against two of the province’s top health officials who this week appeared in court on charges of fraud and corruption. Opposition parties and trade unions are calling for the officials to be suspended.

What we do know is that these two officials are not new to corruption in the department, and that is why we are calling for their immediate suspension.Provincial Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation spokesperson Nomthandazo Mnisi said both Theys and Gaborone were charged with fraud and contravention of the Public Finance Management Act.

Theys was arrested and appeared in court in March this year on a different charge relating to lease agreements concluded in 2014 for nursing students’ accommodation to the value of R96 million. Theys was granted bail of R30 000 at the time. The Freedom Front Plus deputy chair in the province, Daniel Coetzee, also welcomed the arrest. “The investigation has been ongoing for a while now, so we are glad.” He added that it was ultimately the most vulnerable people who suffered because of mismanagement.According to Nehawu regional secretary Moleme Moleme, the union asked the department several times to suspend Theys. “It has been our plea [to] the department since his first arrest that took place earlier this year.

The report notes that, among other things, the provincial health department deviated from the emergency procurement procedures for “one transaction to procure goods to the value of R8.04 million in the Northern Cape”. The Auditor-General said they could not find “any evidence that the deviations had been approved by the accounting officer”.
