A shocking exposé of corruption within South Africa's public health system! This documentary dives deep into the Tembisa Hospital scandal, ignited by the brave whistleblowing of Babita Deokaran. Learn how her dedication uncovered a massive web of fraudulent activities that siphoned off millions of rands meant for vital patient care.
This true story reveals the arrest of Hangwani Maumela, a businessman and President Cyril Ramaphosa's nephew through a past marriage, in connection with the scandal. We uncover the shocking details of how Maumela allegedly spent R325 million of public funds on luxury homes and high-end vehicles, while Tembisa Hospital lacked essential resources. Forensic investigations show Maumela's family trust accumulated over R2.3 billion between 2018 and 2023, with a broader network of companies connected to the Maumela family and Tembisa Hospital receiving a staggering R3.7 billion during the same period.
But the corruption doesn't stop there. Deputy President Paul Mashatile's children, Thabiso Mashatile and Tinyiko Mvelase, are embroiled in a separate R91 million tender scandal involving fire suppression systems at Gauteng hospitals. We investigate how their company, Ngwato and Manzi Group (NMG), and a connected entity, Modipadi Nokaneng, secured lucrative contracts, leaving workers unpaid and essential safety needs unmet. Workers are owed salaries totaling R219,000.
We delve into the intricate connections between these companies, the questionable bidding processes, and the devastating impact on ordinary South Africans who rely on these public health services. The National Prosecuting Authority's Asset Forfeiture Unit has seized assets worth millions, including luxury properties and vehicles, but is it enough?
This documentary also revisits the tragic story of Babita Deokaran, whose life was cut short after exposing the initial corruption. We examine the ongoing investigation into her death and the challenges in bringing all those responsible to justice. Key figures in this saga include Phumlani Dlamini, Phumlani Ntuli, Nkanyiso Makhubele, Njabulo Ngwenya, Mfundo Makhubele, and Zenzele Mkhize, who were convicted in connection with her death. The book "The Shadow State" by journalist Jeff Wicks provides further insights into the events surrounding Deokaran's discoveries.
Join us as we unravel the layers of this complex scandal, expose the individuals involved, and explore the systemic issues that allow such corruption to thrive. What are the implications for South Africa's healthcare system and the fight against corruption?
