“The premier is giving due consideration to the latest SIU report and further announcements will be made by Friday on the findings, recommendations and appropriate course of action to be taken.”
Masuku was instructed to take leave of absence in connection with the awarding of PPE tenders to companies linked to his friends on July 30.
Several other officials were implicated in the SIU report, including the head of the provincial department of health, Prof Mkhululi Lukhele, who Makhura placed on precautionary suspension with immediate effect last week.
Days after his suspension, Lukhele tendered his resignation with immediate effect, which Makhura said he welcomed.
Masebe said the provincial government and the health department were implementing all the recommendations of the SIU.
