The syndicates behind the looting frenzy at Tembisa Hospital in Ekurhuleni paid R16m to six hospital clerks, R7.3m to an assistant nurse, and R67m to their managers.
The employees in turn enabled the syndicates to siphon off R2bn in dodgy supplier contracts.
This is according to Special Investigating Unit SIU boss Andy Mothibi, who briefed the media yesterday on the units report regarding its investigation into corruption at the hospital. He said 15 employees were involved in corruption, money laundering, collusion and bid rigging to benefit the syndicates.
