Former Transport Minister in court on corruption charges─── 06:53 Thu, 01 Sep 2016
Pretoria - Former Transport Minister, Sbu Ndebele, is expected to appear in the North Gauteng High Court today with four co-accused where he faces charges of fraud, corruption and money laundering.
Ndebele is accused of accepting over R10 million in bribes related to the extension of a multi-billion rand national vehicle register eNatis project contract.
On December 15, Ndebele appeared in the Durban Commercial Crimes Court over the same matter. At the time, National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson, Luvuyo Mfaku, said Ndebele was released on R10 000 bail.
The case was postponed so Ndebele could join his four co-accused in the Pretoria Regional Court.
The co-accused in the matter are former Director General of the Transport Department, George Mahlalela, as well as Zakhele Thwala, Sibusiso Justin Ncube, and Tebogo Mphuti, who are all out on R10 000 bail each.
They all face charges of fraud, corruption, money laundering and contravening the Public Finance Management Act.
