Military officials are under investigation for ‘irregular’ R260m acquisition and could be held personally liable for the billSA’s health products regulator has ordered the defence force to return an unregistered Covid-19 drug obtained from Cuba, or face having it confiscated and destroyed.SANDF officials implicated in the scandal may be held personally liable for the R260m billed by the Cubans, according to a report by the auditor-general presented to parliament’s defence committee on Wednesday.
“Communication on the return of the product to Cuba is still awaited ... We will either get evidence [by] Friday that this product has been sent back to Cuba. If not we will go and confiscate and destroy the product,” Sahpra CEO Boitumelo Semete told MPs on Wednesday. “In addressing the material irregularity ... appropriate disciplinary action must be taken against responsible officials within reasonable time ... [including] if any officials are liable under law, for purposes of recovering funds,” the report reads.
It also called for diplomatic engagement with the Cuban government to manage the “serious political fallout” that could result.
Hopefully at the expense of Nosiviwe's pension fund a d resignation.
🤣🤣🤣
No man. They must send them to Mzwandile Masina
A Major General is going to be charged over decision to conserve our country from Biochemical Warfare threat of yet to be isolated Zoonotic Virus whilst we native South Africans yet to be addressed how HIV was used as Biochemical Warfare by European Assassins? VaccineMandates 🇿🇦
A full refund plus interest is required.
And is Cuba going to return the money or is this just another buddy buddy scenario. This money could have fed millions of poor people. The same people that still vote ANC.
Like Cuba will give back the money....
Hope we get a refund that is returned into the proper coffers
more illegal things... but in such a dept and they all still have their jobs.
We're always told SANDF is broke....but this was bought... Can the minister at the time please clarify
Unlicensed covid drug. Not vaccines... Wooooww
And we'll get our money, back, or am I unrealistically optimistic?
Is the person in the picture responsible SANDF?
So the issue is that its unlicensed rather than that it doesn't work? Some of us see through this anti Cuba-Russia-China narrative that underlines the objections to this procurement. Licensing is a business issue not a health one. So if it was Pfizer it would be fine?
Let them give it to all the SANDF employees starting with the Minister.
Guys ANC mst jst go. I think we have seen it all for the past 27 yrs. The money the government had wasted is too much & no one takes responsibility. Who ordered them?. Cuban came for water project but to date nothing was achieved. Yoo this too much to handle.
Where are the Cuban doctors?
Didn't it expire already?! I wouldn't touch it with a pole...
As long our Departments still dominated by RET forces this country will remain under curse of looting Mapisa is a well known Ret or rat she is a carse.
Minister of Defence’s resignation is overdue on CyrilRamaphosa ‘s desk
ndathaneguy Will Castro's boys return the money or sekunjalo as usual🤭😂😂
It's licenced . The problm wrong supplier . FDA_Drug_Info FDA is a scam also .
No one will account. Zero
Will the taxpayers' money be returned by Cuba though?
How dare we ignorant citizens of SA sit here and question the entitlement of the ANC political elite, learn your place in society...TIA.
Fraud fraud fraud The key: who got the kickbacks? Did they share it with the Central Powers, if not somebody may end up in jail. My guess is this story will go away like our crude oil which was sold for $29/barrel.
How did this people get promoted at this rate of waistesful expenditure
And these SANDF doctors are the ones that assessed Zuma and gave him his “confidential” medical report.
Fine, but will Cuba send back our money?
'Will be held responsible' will give me some confidence something will come of this matter. 'Could'? Nah.
Why are no heads rolling?
120million binne in sy P..s,& no one will be held accountable everyone will just duck&dive as already seen they just not bothered because our Law is just exploited by protecting them from their shit that's suppose to come their way.Let's see how much corruption is in this deal🤬
This country is led by failures.
MatthewsMahlubi No member of the force will just order vaccine nje, it was an order from stupid politicians while we have medical students in that country who are suffering big time and guess what, she got promoted that woman
And no one if fired? Mxm
CoruscaKhaya and we must pay. on top of fuel prices and 50% unemployment
Oh no. Where are the checks and balances
Hebaaaan...didn't they said it got ruined because it was not well stored and le gona it was last year or did they order another one this year🤔
Seajay_J Cuba Cuba Cuba😂always with us
The useless mapisa nqakula. Sies.
It's just a deal went wrong. Mabena is the one who's behind this! This country though... an order for what and from who exactly?
