R500-million Covid-19 Gauteng hospital contract was irregularly awarded — SIU - The Mail & GuardianIn January, the M&G reported that the SIU was looking into the “waste” of R500-million that was meant to add 175 Covid-19 intensive care beds to Gauteng’s total bed count for the pandemic, because the province was battled with apparent shortages. So one costs more than R2.8 million🤯. What sorts of beds are these anyway?🤔 So there was no waste of R500-million. This was Not Criminal or Negligent when our citizens were Dying & Urgently Needed care & it was rather decided to Spend Tax Payers Money on a hospital that for all intents and purposes does Not Actually Exist. And G-d watched in horror.
