The Democratic Alliance (DA) said that it was concerned with reports of overspending at Tembisa Hospital in the last financial year.
The hospital reportedly exceeded its budget by over R700 million, which has affected this year’s budget.
The party met with acting CEO Mohlamme Mathabathe on Wednesday, where the hospital was called to account for allegations of corruption.
The DA’s Jack Bloom met with the Tembisa Hospital Acting CEO, he claims that they do not buy cloth towels at all, it’s paper towels, and there was a coding error. They have overspent on goods and services by R749 million while the annual budget is R320 million.@JackBloomDA pic.twitter.com/IB4W5C5J0D

Reports suggest the hospital purchased overpriced equipment, including 230 face cloths and 100 leather armchairs, and 200 skinny jeans.
“They overspent by R747 million, so clearly something is very wrong at this hospital. The CEO has now been suspended and going forward, I hope that the acting CEO and his team make sure that any future money is properly spent on goods for patients that they actually need,” said the DA’s Jack Bloom.
I visited Tembisa Hospital and they blamed all the fishy purchases on “coding errors”. They said this chair was delivered instead of the R5000 wingback leather chair. What’s a good price for this chair? pic.twitter.com/K48Yjrk7vs
