Disgraced Tembisa Hospital CEO Ashley Mthunzi was paid R2.5 million for not doing any work while suspended, and will continue the slow drain on state coffers even after his death through his lavish government pension .
Mthunzi played a key role in a billion-rand extraction scheme exposed by Babita Deokaran, just weeks before her murder in 2021.
At the time of his death 10 days ago, Mthunzi had been suspended while undergoing a marathon disciplinary investigation that lasted almost two years. Because he died while “in service,” his estate is entitled to a legacy of payments from the Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF).
