Heberon.
The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) has issued a statement defending its controversial acquisition of Heberon, meant to treat COVID-19, from Cuba, following renewed criticism that it could have compromised 40% of the R200 million shipment due to improper storage.
Defence and Military Veterans Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula was on 27 January scheduled to brief the media “to clarify matters related to the medication acquired by the South African National Defence Force,” but the briefing was cancelled.
A statement was subsequently issued on 28 January by Defence Corporate Communication on behalf of the Military Command following a meeting to deliberate on the matter. Military Command is the highest decision-making body in the SANDF, headed by the Chief of the SANDF General Solly Shoke and consisting of the heads of the Air Force, Army, Navy, Military Health Service, Joint Operations, and Defence Intelligence.
