A member of the national intervention unit stands guard during a raid by members of the Hawks and AFU at the plush home of Hlenga Sibisi - accused of bribing an eThewkwini official for tenders - in Umhlanga, north of Durban, on October 10 2019.

National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Natasha Kara said the matter was adjourned to April 16 for discovery, a legal term referring to procedures used to gather evidence.

Their next appearance date coincides with former eThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede's next court appearance in connection with theGumede, the Ngcobos, Dludla and Sibisi are among 11 others in connection with the irregular DSW tender, awarded in 2016.
