The 54-year-old was joined in the dock by Bhekisisa Hlongwe, 41, the municipality's CFO, and Velenkosini Mtshali, 44, sole director of Bonakude Consulting Ltd which provided consulting services to the municipality.
The National Prosecuting Authority in KwaZulu-Natal said: “The state is alleging that between 2018 and 2019 the men colluded to illegally extend an expired contract for Bonakude to provide consulting services to the municipality. “It is also alleged that Mswane and Hlongwane contravened the Municipal Finance Management Act by incurring irregular and wasteful expenditure. A further allegation is that Mtshali and Bonakude received the proceeds of the unlawful activities of Mswane and Hlongwane, when they were paid for the non-existent contract.”
It's all fraud and corruption in south africa because they can get away with it.
