Matlala to rejoin Masemola in Medicare24 Tshwane District tender case
Fannie Masemola and senior police officials appeared in court on Friday morning.
This Friday, several high-ranking police officials, including suspended National Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola, are set to return to Pretoria Magistrate's Court. Masemola faces four charges under the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) related to the controversial R228-million SAPS tender awarded to Medicare24 Tshwane District. Her co-accused are also charged with fraud, corruption, and money laundering.
According to prosecutors, Masemola, as the SAPS accounting officer, failed to act promptly enough to prevent the irregular spending and financial losses associated with the Medicare24 Tshwane District tender. Additionally, she is accused of not preventing irregular and wasteful expenditure. Most of the accused had served on the SAPS Bid Adjudication Committee.
The state has also stated that the charge sheet may be amended if new information emerges from the court's decision on the case dockets.
