The Special Investigating Unit still has to recover R14m from Ledla Structural, money which was irregularly awarded through a R139m personal protective equipment contract by the Gauteng health department.

The contract was initially awarded to Royal Bhaca, owned by Chief Madzikane II Thandisizwe Diko, the husband of former presidential spokesperson Khusela Diko, which was as said to have used Ledla as its proxy once allegations of corruption and possible conflict of interest arose.

The SIU is investigating contracts worth R13bn around the country which were alleged to have been riddled with corruption and fraud. DA MP Benedicta van Minnen said this was concerning and that action had to be taken against the responsible officials. In giving his example of incidents where evidence was destroyed, Mothibi made mention of a warehouse at the Carletonville Hospital that burnt down last week.

This intimidation arose mostly during the search and seizures that the investigators conduct to get documented evidence.
