'Corruption has no place in our democracy': ANC reacts to Tembisa Hospital mass looting

October 02, 2025

THE ANC in Gauteng has welcomed the interim findings of the Special Investigating Unit (SIU), which uncovered that around R2 billion was siphoned off from Tembisa Hospital through entrenched corruption networks.

In a statement, ANC Gauteng Provincial Task Team (PTT) spokesperson Mzi Khumalo commended SIU head Advocate Andy Mothibi and his team for exposing syndicates accused of looting money meant for critical healthcare services.

“The report confirms what has long been suspected: a deeply entrenched network of corruption, fraud, mismanagement, and maladministration within the hospital’s Supply Chain Management,” said Khumalo.

Khumalo said the ANC supported Premier Panyaza Lesufi’s decision in 2022 to sign a Secondment Agreement with the SIU to probe allegations at the hospital.

Transforming Trump's G20 snub into a strategic advantage for South Africa

THE announcement by US President Donald Trump that South Africa will be “uninvited” from the 2026 G20 Summit is, at face value, a diplomatic provocation. But beneath the headlines lies a far more consequential opportunity: the chance for South Africa - with its business leadership at the forefront - to redefine its global narrative, champion multilateralism and strengthen its position as a bridge between the West and the Global South.
