Police did not arrest any official from the Department of Health in Mpumalanga

NELSPRUIT – Police in Mpumalanga would like to categorically state that they did not arrest any official from the Department of Health as depicted in the media statement issued today by the Economic Freedom Fighters in Mpumalanga. However it is true that there is a fraud and corruption case which has been laid by the political party at the Nelspruit Police Station last week and an investigation thereof is underway.

The relevant complainant has been duly informed about the developments of the investigation, currently, police are obtaining statements and will in all material times closely work with the NPA for guidance on this matter.
