Medicare 24 Tshwane District

Major General Matlou submitted a section 27 referral affidavit together with an unprovided preliminary report, triggering the investigation, arrest, and prosecution of General Masemola regarding an alleged unlawful tender award to Medicare 24 Tshwane District.

“General Matlou's affidavit is what eventually triggered the arrest, the eventual arrest and prosecution of General Masemola.”

Charge 3 against General Masemola alleging gross negligence for failing as SAPS Accounting Officer to ensure Medicare 24 Tshwane District was tax compliant and screened under Section 38 of the PFMA does not legally or logically apply to the Accounting Officer, as tax screening duties lie with the bid evaluation committee and state tax obligations refer to the institution itself.

“Amongst others. It does not make sense.”

Notices requesting detailed information about certain payments and company financials linked to Mr Carrim were served but have not yet been responded to by Mr Carrim.

“Those details were thereafter, well, incorporated into a Regulation 10.6 notice that was dated 8th May 2026, and that was served on Mr Carrim by the Sheriff on 12th May ... Some of these are fairly routine details ... And a supplementary notice dated 20th May was sent to Mr Carrim and his attorneys when there was no response to the earlier notice ... thus far, we have received no response to that either.”

Mr Van Wyk owns Medicare 24 Holdings, distinct from Medicare 24 Tshwane district owned by Mr Matlala; Mr Van Wyk is also a director and key player at the security company Anubis Protection Services.

“The first company is Medicare 24 Holdings. That is Mr Van Wyk's company... Then there is a company called Anubis Protection Services. That is a security company of which Mr Van Wyk is a director and we understand him to be the key player of that company.”

A loan agreement in April 2025 between Mr. Motsumi and Medicare 24 Tshwane District provides for Mr. Motsumi to advance R20 million with monthly repayments calculated at 20% of Medicare 24 Tshwane District's net profit, repayable until July 2027 or until R100 million in profit is repaid, whichever comes first.

“That loan agreement in draft form appears at page 850 ... Mr Motsumi is going to advance R20 million to Medicare 24 Tshwane on or before 27 April 2025 ... repayments ... calculated at 20% of the monthly net profit ... lender entitled to such repayments until July 2027, alternatively until such time as lender has received the sum of R100 million in profit”

Mr Motsumi, in his personal capacity, is advancing R20 million to Medicare 24 Tshwane District in late April 2025 and in return Medicare 24 will sign over authority over all its vehicles to Mr Motsumi's security company, Vhazwimi Security.

“Mr Motsumi in his personal capacity is advancing R20 million to Medicare 24 Tshwane District in late April 2025 and that in return ... Medicare 24 is also signing over authority over all of its vehicles to Mr Motsumi's security company, Vhazwimi Security”

In the early 2000s, negotiations regarding vehicle fleet arrangements for Medicare 24 Tshwane District involved multiple parties including Mr Van Wyk, Mr Motsumi and Mr Matlala, with some confusion about which legal entity (Holdings or Tshwane (Pty) Ltd) was involved.

“Negotiations at the beginning were taking place in 2001, 2002 ... not clear whether it was for Holdings or for Tshwane 24, Tshwane (Pty) Ltd ... earlier negotiations were definitely in two parts ... certain letters were going to be signed for Mr Van Wyk and his entities ... Anubis for instance has nothing to do with Mr Matlala to the best of our knowledge ... What has happened by the time we get to 2025, we are not sure”
