JOHANNESBURG – Dr. Nomathemba Mokgethi has been appointed as the new Gauteng Health MEC, while Cogta Deputy Minister Parks Tau is also incorporated as the new MEC for economic development.
Prime Minister David Makhura made the announcement at a press conference in Johannesburg on Wednesday.
Makhura said a team of administrators would also be appointed to assist in the health department.
The African National Congress in the province had given Makhura until the end of November to make a decision.
In October, he fired Dr. Bandile Masuku as MEC of health for the saga of bidding for personal protective equipment, this after the preliminary report of the Specialized Investigation Unit found that he did not comply with the Constitution and the regulations contained in the Public Finance Management Law.
Makhura expressed his faith in the additional capacity his government has just received.
