R2 billion in public funds stolen from South Africa’s Tembisa Hospital through fraud and corruption, prompting disciplinary actions and asset freezes.
The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) revealed that approximately R2 billion in public funds were stolen from Tembisa Hospital in Gauteng, South Africa, through a network of fraud, corruption, and money laundering involving at least three criminal syndicates.
The interim report, released on September 29, 2025, identified key officials from the hospital and Gauteng Department of Health accused of accepting bribes, rigging tenders, and using front companies.
Over 116 disciplinary referrals were made against 15 current and former staff, with assets linked to syndicates valued at hundreds of millions of rand.
The probe, initiated after whistleblower Babita Deokaran’s 2021 assassination, uncovered irregular contracts totaling over R1.7 billion and prompted asset freezes.
The Gauteng government pledged swift action, calling the theft a severe breach of public trust.
