The Hawks conducted a search and seizure operation at the municipality in connection with alleged tender fraud of about R85 million.
A raid on the Rustenburg Local Municipality by the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation, known as the Hawks, was unnecessary, mayor Mpho Khunou said on Friday.
The Hawks conducted a search and seizure operation at the municipality on Tuesday in connection with alleged tender fraud worth about R85 million. “The major issue was the R85 million tender awarded to CMS Water Engineers for the Bospoort Dam construction material in May 2018. Only R25 million was used and a physical verification of the materials was done on 26 February 2019. ”
“These documents of which the search and seizure was obtained were in actual fact already in the possession of both the Klerksdorp Commercial Crimes Unit as well as the Pretoria Commercial Crimes Unit.
