Three suspects aged 39, 40 and 42, including a Ward Councillor, a driver, and a member of a political party from Madibeng Municipality in Brits, are appearing in the Pretoria Magistrates Court this morning following their arrest at Menlyn on Thursday, 11 December 2025, by the Anti-Corruption Investigation, Head Office of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI).
The trio were arrested in an intelligence-driven operation after they demanded a gratification amounting to R300,000.00 from a local businessman in exchange for the awarding of a tender which was advertised by the Madibeng Municipality during November 2025.
It is alleged that the complainant was contacted by one of the suspects inquiring if the businessman was interested in being assisted to secure a tender. Subsequently, the trio is reported to have arranged a meeting with the businessman wherein they discussed the amount to exchange hands. The law-abiding businessman then reported the matter to the Serious Corruption Investigation, who in turn obtained the necessary documents to set up an operation. #fightingcrime #Hawks
