SIU head Andy Mothibi Mothibi told Scopa that evidence was being destroyed as it investigated PPE fraud. File picture.The Special Investigating Unit still has to recover R14m from Ledla Structural, money which was irregularly awarded through a R139m personal protective equipment contract by the Gauteng health department.
The contract was initially awarded to Royal Bhaca, owned by Chief Madzikane II Thandisizwe Diko, the husband of former presidential spokesperson Khusela Diko, which was as said to have used Ledla as its proxy once allegations of corruption and possible conflict of interest arose. Mothibi told Scopa that as of November 25, 26%, or 164, of these investigations had been concluded, which translated to R3.5bn.
This concerned Scopa as some members said it pointed to defeating the ends of justice and that names of those responsible should be forwarded to the committee.
