President Cyril Ramaphosa has taken an unprecedented step and asked all his ministers to compile a list of Covid-19 tenders and submit it to him so that he can release the information publicly.

He wants that to be done by the end of this week. This comes as his own spokesperson, Khusela Diko, among many ANC leaders, is on special leave after her husband, Inkosi Thandisizwe Diko, was allegedly caught dipping his hands into the Covid-19 cookie jar.

In a leaked letter which was written on Wednesday and sent to all the ministers, Ramaphosa pleaded for their urgent cooperation, saying he wanted to make the list public. He took the decision immediately after a cabinet meeting and said the list of the tenders should be sent to a six-cabinet committee chaired by Justice and Correctional Services Minister Ronald Lamola.
