PRETORIA - Two men linked to the looting of Tembisa Hospital will appear in court on Friday.

The Special Investigating Unit has already recovered R13,5-million from former hospital official Zacharia Tshisele.

During the probe, Tshisele allegedly approached Hawks sergeant Papi Tsie and asked him to help bribe the investigating officer to make the charges go away.
