Graft busters

In his two years as Director General of Health, Pillay has forced the resignation and/or disciplinary hearings or criminal charging of more than 1 200 people – most are health department staff accused of helping themselves to money for intended patient care.

Strict controls are now saving billions as a slick national pilot programme for ethical – plain honest – procurement and monitoring, kicked off last month in the Eastern Cape health department.  Backed by a high-tech group of national government agencies,  proponents of the project claim it will cut fraud and wastage by up to 80%.

We are in dire need for national heroes.
In 1652 – I was told – we had Jan van Riebeeck as a hero.
Can you believe it 360 years later and we now have two new all time national heroes - Nelson Mandela and Dr Siva Pillay people to look up to, people radiating a message of hope!
Thank heavens!

Dr. Pillay deserves every cent of his bonus. Well done, we need more people like you in all State departments.

Guys lets have more reports like this, the scale is so badly unbalanced in favour of the corrupt that one is doubtful of ever seeing honesty and ethics survive.
