TENDER TURMOIL: The numbers behind the Medscheme/Bonitas bombshell litigation

Afrocentric subsidiary Medscheme has filed its answering affidavit in the Gauteng Division of the High Court in Johannesburg, seeking to halt Bonitas Medical Scheme’s multibillion-rand administration and managed care tender pending a forensic probe by the Council for Medical Schemes into alleged governance and procurement irregularities. At stake are contracts linked to South Africa’s second-largest open scheme as Medscheme argues that implementing the disputed awards could cause irreversible operational and financial harm.
