Denosa asked for premier Makhura to take special leave

The Democratic Nursing Organisation of South Africa in Gauteng is demanding that Premier David Makhura should consider special leave as the Special Investigating Unit continues its probe into PPE tender corruption.

This comes a few days after releasing Gauteng health MEC Dr Bandile Masuku and a week after the Head of Department of Health Professor Mkhululi Lukhele resigned as Gauteng Health head, days after being suspended for PPE tender irregularities.

Denosa held a special Provincial Executive Committee meeting over developments around axed Gauteng health MEC Bandile Masuku. The union says Makhura dodged the bullet far too many times on issues relating to health in the province.

Denosa applauded both doctors for their dedication in the health department and rated them 10 out of 10 for their stellar performance. 

Meanwhile, Gauteng Premier David Makhura said that should Masuku be cleared for corruption, he may be reinstated as the health MEC
