Ramaphosa's nephew linked to hospital tenders
A network of companies linked to President Cyril Ramaphosa's nephew from a previous marriage scored close to R400m in the last three years from Gauteng public hospitals – some payments were flagged by Babita Deokaran before her murder, reports News24.
This three-year payment history was revealed by Health MEC Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko in response to questions submitted by DA health spokesperson Jack Bloom.
The Presidency strenuously denied any association, insisting the pair had no contact, and no relationship.
In her answers to the Gauteng legislature last month, Nkomo-Ralehoko said 12 companies – linked to Hangwani Maumela and his relative Aluwani Maumela – received payments worth R381m from the Department of Health since April 2019.
A purchase order report, attached as an addendum, showed that Tembisa Hospital ordered 50 flat-bottomed round bowls at a cost of R496 555 on 25 May 2020 from Sunshine Gauteng Trading, registered under Aluwani.
