In June 2007 the Department of Health, Gauteng concluded a service level agreement with Baoki Consortium and 3P Consultants in terms of which 3P Consulting was obliged to establish a Project Management Unit for the Department to set-up a Health Information System and Electronic Health Records for Gauteng hospitals and clinics. On 23 March 2009 the agreement was extended for a further three years by the then MEC of Health Brian Hlongwa. Mahlangu Replaced Hlongwa as MEC of Health on 8 May 2009 after the National Elections, as part of Nomvula Mokonyane's first provincial cabinet. Shortly after Mahlangu conducted a review of projects and on 1 July 2009 she wrote a letter to 3P Consulting stating that the department was cancelling the extended agreement. According to Ms Mahlangu’s affidavit this was ‘due to serious allegations of impropriety as well as irregularities in the award as well as the extension of the agreement’. There was extensive litigation between the parties and on 18 February 2010 the South Gauteng High Court (Lamont J) granted a declaration that the services agreement between 3P Consulting and the Department was validly concluded and extended. The Department appealed the decision of the high court and failed, furthermore on 7 February 2011 the Constitutional Court refused leave for a further appeal. On 13 October 2011, 3P Consulting instituted application proceedings against the Department claiming payment of some R99 million excluding interest and costs. The proceedings were defended by the department and referred for trial. Before the trial 3P Consulting was placed in liquidation. Its claim against the Department was its sole substantial asset. The liquidators applied for the appointment of a commissioner to investigate the company’s affairs and to determine whether it should continue with the litigation against the Department to recover the claim. In July 2014, The National Prosecuting Authority applied to the South Gauteng High Court to place preservation orders on any claims that 3P Consulting and Baoki may have filled against the Department of Health Gauteng, effectively attaching such claims as proceeds of unlawful activities, following attaching of Hlongwa's luxury home.
