Suspected state capture has crippled an already limping North West Health Department, following a controversial deal with the Gupta-linked Mediosa. The company had provided the province with four mobile clinics, meant to service residents of rural areas, but are now locked up pending an ongoing legal battle between the company and the department. The department struck a deal worth R180 million with Mediosa, and had already paid R30 million for the clinics, which later proved to be substandard. It led to the suspension of the HOD, Thabo Lekalakala, and the department being placed under administration by national government. For more news, visit: sabcnews.com
