BREAKING: A SHOCKING NEW PROBE just ripped open a SCANDAL at the HEART of South Africa’s vaccine future. YOUR money—meant for lifesaving research—may have been STOLEN by the very officials entrusted to protect you.
The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) is now targeting FOUR major contracts for vaccine research. This is about the Department of Science, Technology and Innovation, the Technology Innovation Agency, the University of KwaZulu-Natal, and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). President Cyril Ramaphosa HIMSELF signed the order. The SIU’s statement confirms they are investigating projects including a National Vaccine Manufacturing Strategy and a Virus-Like Particles platform—the very projects meant to make South Africa independent after the pandemic left us BEGGING for vaccines.
This isn’t just paperwork. The SIU warns it will dig into whether these deals were “fair, competitive, transparent, equitable or cost-effective.” They are hunting for “improper or unlawful conduct” by officials and suppliers from 2021 RIGHT UP to December 2025. Think about that timeline. While people were dying, while the country was in crisis, insiders were allegedly scheming.
Who BENEFITS? WHICH corrupt officials got rich while YOUR family waited in line for a jab? The agencies involved have gone SILENT. Daily Maverick’s queries were met with DEAD AIR.
AND THE CANCER SPREADS: In a PARALLEL bombshell, the SIU dramatically EXPANDED its probe into the bottomless pit that is South African Airways. The investigation now includes SAA Technical and stretches back to 2002—uncovering a TWO DECADE feeding frenzy of “maintenance” contracts and shady cabin crew transport deals. This is a PATTERN. A deadly, systemic PATTERN.
They bled the airlines dry with R50-billion bailouts. Now they’ve turned their greed to our HEALTH.
Your trust was the ultimate price. And they sold it for scraps.
