An interim SIU report has uncovered R2 billion looted from Tembisa Hospital through fraudulent tenders. The scheme was first exposed by whistleblower Babita Deokaran before her assassination in 2021, sparking national outrage. Ongoing investigations have led to asset freezes and intensified scrutiny of public procurement. Naledi Kuali, Executive Director of Defend Our Democracy (DOD), calls for accountability and protection for whistleblowers risking their lives for the truth.
