The Special Investigative Unit says it will freeze pension benefits of officials who left Tembisa hospital amid a corruption probe. This comes after the Gauteng health department announced that disciplinary action was taken against graft-implicated employees.
SIU spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago says the process to recover financial losses has begun. The unit also motivated to further investigate supply chain management at the hospital.
“Once the proclamation is signed and gazetted, and the SIU investigation findings point to undue benefit, the SIU will pursue officials who resign in the face of an investigation or disciplinary action by freezing their pension benefits and institute civil litigation to recover financial losses suffered by state institutions.
“In addition to investigating corruption, maladministration and malpractice, the SIU also identifies systematic failures and recommends improving measures to prevent future losses,” SIU spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago said.
