The City of Ekurhuleni has suspended a senior official in the Department of Health and Social Development on allegations of tender fraud and corruption.

“A complaint of unethical and corrupt behaviour was reported against the same individual to the South African Council for Social Service Professions (CSSP) recently.
“The City has launched a full-scale investigation into the allegations, a process which is driven by the internal audit department. Upon conclusion of the investigation, the City will determine a way forward,” said Gadebe.
