JOHANNESBURG – National Police Deputy Commissioner for Human Resources Bonang Mgwenya appeared in Palm Ridge Magistrates Court for her alleged role in a multi-million dollar bid fraud scandal. She has been released on bail of 20,000 rand
Mgwenya is charged with corruption, theft and money laundering after her arrest in connection with a 200 million rand tender for police emergency alert kits.
He joins several other officials who were previously arrested, including former police commissioner Khomotso Phahlane.
Mgwenya was arrested at her home during a pre-dawn raid this morning.
She is now the 13th suspect arrested in connection with the multi-million rand tender to install warning lights on police vehicles in 2017.
It is understood that the service providers were paid R65 million, but the police disbursed a total of R191 million.
The payment of 22 million rand was stopped at an advanced stage following investigations into the looting of state resources.
Mgwenya is expected to return to court in November.
