SIU welcomes property freeze linked to EMS contracts

The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) has welcomed the Special Tribunal's order to freeze upmarket property linked to businessman Thapelo Buthelezi.

The freezing of luxury property linked to the alleged unlawful R532 million Free State Emergency Medical Service contracts.

The order prohibits Buthelezi from selling, transferring, mortgaging the property. The Tribunal also declared the Free State Department of Health's award of multi-million-rand tenders for inter-facility emergency medical services to Buthelezi EMS and its affiliated companies unlawful, procedurally irregular and unconstitutional.

For more on this we are joined by the SIU spokesperson, Selby Makgotho.
