A former prison boss in Limpopo who dished out tenders worth millions — even to a company owned by his girlfriend — and pocketed kickbacks has been convicted of fraud and corruption.

The Kutama Sinthumule Correctional Facility suffered a loss of more than R18m through the scheme‚ said Hawks spokesperson Capt Matimba Maluleke.

Maluleke gave a breakdown of the activities that transpired under his watch at the Louis Trichardt prison. “Raphalalani connived with Pengson to inflate the prices of the items procured for the facility in return for a R369‚380 payment that was transferred from Penson Manufacturing company into Clemson Carriers — a company which belonged to Raphalalani.”
