Dean Macpherson, the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure, is expected to brief the media on the outcomes of the final forensic investigation conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) into the over R800 million Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) oxygen plant tender.
The tender was awarded by the Independent Development Trust (IDT), back in 2024, to two of the three companies, who allegedly lacked the necessary registration with the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA).
The minister said he received the report last week, and has had to study it first in consultation with stakeholders, prior to public release. He also said he is committed to act decisively on allegations of corruption and procurement irregularities in the department and its entities.
On Tuesday, Macpherson is expected to outline the findings of the investigation and steps to ensure accountability within the IDT.
