A Durban-based CEO and a stockbroker were denied bail after allegedly offering a bribe of more than R60,000 to secure a tender.
Hawks spokesman Captain Ndivhuwo Mulamu said the two were arrested last Friday by the serious organized crime investigation unit in Pretoria.
He said that Suman Panday, 42, CEO of Blackie Plastics, and his co-defendant, Madikana Gerald Mapokgola, 31, a warehouse clerk at Day Break Farm in Centurion, were arrested during an operation at Emperors Palace in Kempton Park on last Friday.
“It is alleged that Panday and Mapokgola approached an employee of the Olifantsfontein chicken farm to influence the award of a tender to Blackie Plastics for the supply of plastic chicken wrap with the promise of a one-time bonus of R60,000 and a monthly allowance, “he said. .
The employee reported the matter to the Hawks, leading to his arrest after delivering the R60,000 to a posh restaurant.
The Kempton Park Regional Court postponed the matter until Wednesday. Both suspects face charges of fraud and corruption.
