Ask AI 1 min The Pretoria Magistrate’s Court has formally withdrawn the charges against Police Commissioner General Fannie Masemola in connection with the R360 million SAPS health tender.

The Pretoria Magistrate’s Court has formally withdrawn the charges against Police Commissioner General Fannie Masemola in connection with the R360 million SAPS health tender awarded to Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala, who has been accused in a separate murder case.

Masemola was charged with four counts of contravening Section 38 of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), relating to his responsibilities as an accounting officer.

The case arose from a police healthcare procurement process involving Matlala’s company, Medicare24 Tshwane District.

The broader procurement was valued at about R360 million, while the contract at the centre of the court proceedings was put at R228 million.
