Charges Laid Against Key Suspect in Tembisa Hospital Theft
DA MPL Jack Bloom states that Lerato Madyo, the former Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the Gauteng Health Department, has failed to act on a report by Babita Deokaran regarding possible fraudulent transactions.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Gauteng has laid criminal charges against Madyo for her inaction.
"Morning CFO, I am just worried that the guys in Tembisa are going to realise we are onto something. Our lives could be in danger."
Babita Deokaran sent this WhatsApp message shortly before her death, expressing concerns about the potential danger she and others might face due to their investigation.
Madyo initially froze R104 million in payments to suspicious companies flagged by Babita but later allowed the payments to proceed.
