A company that forms part of the extraction syndicate which banked R250 million in shady Tembisa Hospital contracts, was paid nearly R1 million by the Gauteng Department of Health – after it was red-flagged by the Special Investigating Unit.
The little-known company called Minzorex scored two contracts from Edenvale Hospital and was paid R985 100 in two transactions – the last lump sum landing in the firm's bank account in January.
News24 first exposed Minzorex as part of a network of 17 entities controlled by four members of the Mazibuko clan. All were identified as "possibly fraudulent suppliers" by Babita Deokaran in the weeks before her murder.
