Gauteng Premier David Makhura fires embattled Health MEC Bandile Masuku
Gauteng Premier David Makhura has decided to remove embattled Health MEC Bandile Masuku.
Makhura met with the African National Congress's (ANC's) top leadership in Gauteng on Friday morning to communicate his decision.
Masuku is expected to be redeployed to the Gauteng legislature, a source told News24.
Two sources close to the matter said Makhura was "left without a choice" and had to take action against Masuku, given allegations of impropriety against him.
An Special Investigating Unit update report put blame for a personal protection equipment (PPE) scandal at Masuku's door.
Masuku, his wife Loyiso and presidential spokesperson Khusela Diko were put on leave following reports of tender corruption at the Gauteng health department.
Masuku's wife is also an MMC at the City of Johannesburg.
It was reported that Diko's husband, Madzikane II Thandisizwe Diko, had been awarded a R125-million tender to supply PPE to the department, News24 previously reported.
