Gauteng Health MEC Bandile Masuku threatens DA leader with legal action
Embattled Gauteng Health MEC Bandile Masuku has threatened legal action against the DA’s Jack Bloom.
This comes after the DA Gauteng health spokesperson published a statement, accusing Masuku’s department of spending almost R500,000 on each COVID-19 patient admitted at the Nasrec field hospital.
Bloom says this is another reason why Masuku should be fired in addition to his failure to prevent alleged corruption in PPE contracts.
In a statement, Masuku calls Bloom’s claims dangerous, misguided, and reckless.
He says they constitute a gross violation of his constitutional rights to human dignity.
The Nasrec hospital was commissioned in June to treat COVID-19 patients.
