This was the plea made by health acting superintendent-general Dr Sibongile Zungu to health minister Zweli Mkhize in Nelson Mandela Bay on Thursday, saying they were in serious trouble as medico-legal claims continued eating the lion’s share of the department’s budget.

Johannesburg - Officials implicated in the Eastern Cape Health Departmentâs embarrassing R10 million âambulance scooterâ tender must face disciplinary action within three months, acting Public Protector Kholeka Gcaleka has ordered.
Gcaleka on Wednesday gave newly-appointed Eastern Cape Health MEC Nomakhosazana Meth 90 days to ensure that action is taken against officials involved in the âambulance scooterâ scandal.
She released 21 reports including ten closing reports and ordered Meth, who took over reins in the department in March, to oversee disciplinary action against the implicated officials in terms of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) and the departmentâs applicable policies.
