Johannesburg - The National Prosecuting Authority says five Free State government officials who were arrested for corruption and money laundering worth R245 million, have been released on R10 000 bail each.
"The first four were members of the bid evaluation committee, and Thabethe was the head of the department," the NPA said. "It is further alleged that the director of Superior Quality Trading, Lenah Mohapi , paid huge sums of money into the account of Seipati Dlamini , who was the chief financial officer of the department at the time. These payments were disguised as Refund Telkomsa and Medical services," the NPA said in a statement on Tuesday.
