Investigating Directorate Against Corruption Idac head Andrea Johnson says they are investigating allegations that politicians and SAPS high-ranking officials may be involved in the alleged unlawful awarding of a SAPS tender to Vusimuzi Cat Matlala.
Matlalas company, Medicare24 Tshwane District, was awarded a R360m tender in 2024 to provide health risk management services to SAPS. The procurement was alleged to have irregularities and inconsistencies with the bidding process. The contract was terminated due to failure to meet contractual expectations.
Testifying before parliaments ad hoc committee investigating allegations of corruption in the criminal justice system, Johnson said the case was referred to Idac by SAPS on February 16 to investigate potential fraud and corruption by SAPS officials and Matlalas associates.
