The Democratic Alliance DA has accused President Cyril Ramaphosa of protecting alleged Tembisa Hospital tenderpreneur Hangwani Morgan Maumela.
In a statement on Thursday 30 October, DA member of Parliament Michele Clarke claimed the Presidency had declined a request to expand a Special Investigating Unit SIU investigation to other provincial health departments, not just Gauteng where Tembisa Hospital is located.
This follows a News24 report on 1 October that one of Maumelas alleged companies had moved to court after failing to win a R1 billion North West health department catering tender.
