IN THE Tembisa Hospital corruption scandal, pressure is mounting for arrests.

- MASABATA MKWANANZI

The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA) has called the hospital an "active crime scene" and demanded that those responsible for the embezzlement of public funds be taken swiftly.

This follows a protest held on Octobe 22, by OUTA members outside Tembisa Hospital, where officials were handed, a memorandum demanding accountability after a damning Special Investigating Unit (SIU) report exposed the looting of over R2 billion, a scandal allegedly linked to businessmen Vusi "Cat" Matlala and Morgan Maumela at the heart of one of Gauteng's largest healthcare corruption cases.

The organisation called for the immediate arrest of all those implicated in the corruption scandal, stressing that arrests alone are not enough.
