President Cyril Ramaphosa believes that the publishing of the list of all Covid-19 related expenditure is a demonstration of his government's commitment to transparency.

“This measure is unprecedented, and a clear demonstration of government’s commitment to transparency and accountability when it comes to allegations of corruption in the Covid-19 procurement process.”

In a statement on Wednesday, acting presidency spokesperson Tyrone Seale said Ramaphosa's comments came after the office of the chief procurement officer publishedThe list is for all procurement related to Covid-19, including from provinces and parastatals. Publishing the list came after public uproar directed at the ANC over alleged looting of Covid-19 funds. In response, Ramaphosa had established a much-criticised interministerial team, led by justice and correctional services minister Ronald Lamola.The meeting, among other resolutions, instructed the party leaders to compile a list of its members implicated in corruption or who are facing charges. The party is due to discuss the matter further this weekend.

Ramaphosa said in a statement that collaboration between departments on the matter of the Covid-19 tenders was a clear indication that his government would intensify efforts to act against any individuals or companies involved in corruption and profiteering around the coronavirus pandemic. “By publishing these lists we have honoured our promise to the South African people. They enable proper scrutiny of the details of all companies who have received tenders for Covid-19 related services,” he said.
