Mogalakwena alleged tender corruption

In a case that has unfolded, police have made it public that over R15 million has been lost by the Municipality due to these illegal activities. These illegal activities included service providers offering officials gifts for other companies to be paid money for services not rendered. During the operation, a BMW 1 series belonging to the girlfriend of one of the suspects was seized as an affected gift.

A statement from the Police department said, “We would like to put it on record that our members would not call and demand money for anything as we do not run a cash business. If you receive a call from someone claiming to be from the Hawks and demand money, know that you are about to be scammed.” People are urged to immediately contact the nearest police station.

All the suspects are expected to make their first appearance in the Mokopane Magistrate’s Court today, on 1 September 2021.
