# The EFF in Gauteng says the suspension of the provincial Health Department head, Lesiba Arnold Malotana, is nothing but a delaying tactic meant to shield him and buy time for internal political management. His name has featured in the Special Investigating Unit probe into tender fraud involving BAS MedExpress and the Masakhane Cook Freeze Factory, where millions were looted through kickbacks and irregular contracts. The EFF says Malotana’s tenure has been nothing short of catastrophic. It adds that Malotana should have been fired long ago, not suspended.
