Minister probes alleged corrupt R800m tender
The Citizen|December 12, 2024
Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure Dean Macpherson has launched an investigation into governance issues at the Independent Development Trust (IDT) after failing to receive requested documentation from the trust's board about an allegedly irregular and corrupt R800 million hospital oxygen plant tender.

Macpherson's decision was prompted by the department of health (DoH) giving notice that it intends to remove the IDT as its implementing agent for the controversial Pressure Swing Absorption (PSA) Oxygen Plant tender because of allegations of corruption.

Macpherson informed IDT board chair Advocate Kwazi Mshengu on 19 November that the tender for the rollout of this project should be suspended with immediate effect to restore the integrity of the process. It is unclear if the IDT has done so.

Mshengu said the IDT board directed management to accept the DoH's intention to withdraw the contract from the IDT.
