Special Investigating Unit spokesperson, Kaizer Kganyago says they have uncovered the unlawful movement of money amounting to R3-billion at the Tembisa hospital East of Johannesburg.Kganyago says Deokaran, who was the former Chief Director for Financial Accounting at the Gauteng Department of Health, flagged 850 dodgy transactions.
“What is happening at the moment is that investigation is very complicated; and what I can say to the public is we have reached a stage where we can safely say we’ve never seen such kind of problems and ways of trying to hide things. You’ll remember at the time when Babita died she had flagged about 850 transactions. So far we have flagged 5 500 and they are very intricate; they are what we call letter box transactions that are done through different bank accounts.
“So far we’ve established that there’s movement of about R3-billion that moved from the department to these bogus accounts and therefore we are still continuing with the investigations and we are hoping that this is going to show more results. We have promised that in her name we will do everything that we need to do to get to the bottom of it,” adds Kganyago.
