The government has kept one of its key promises in the planned fightback against COVID corruption. On Wednesday, the list of every single tender awarded by the ANC during this pandemic was made public. All deals are now available to view, but be warned – there are thousands to sift through.

COVID tenders revealed – in painstaking detail

We’ve decided to break things down a little bit, to help you pick and choose the tender lists that are most likely to pique your interests. We’re looking at every government department, their administrative branches, and supplying the linked documents which detail each and every COVID contract.

It’s extensive, exhaustive, and, ultimately a source of true fascination. With so many stories of corruption sprouting from these COVID tenders, the government has essentially given us access to a tapestry of deals that may require a second glance. For your perusal, here is that list in full:
