Health Minister Zweli Mkhize is joining the long list of government officials who are being investigated by the the Special Investigating Unit (SIU).
Mkhize has been linked to an irregular tender procurement awarded to long-serving Personal Assistant, Tahera Mather.
SIU Spokesperson, Kaizer Kganyango says for now an investigation is underway and nothing has been concluded.
It is alleged that Mather’s company used their influence with Mkhize to score a tender worth R82 million from the Department of Health.
Meanwhile several high profile people in both government and private sector, are being probed by the SIU in relation to the abuse and misuse of COVID-19 relief funds.
