This was revealed by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) in Gauteng on Friday.

Two other companies were implicated after financial transactions were made in their bank accounts, they were identified as Argan Automotive Mechanical Innovation Towing Ltd, Gautools Ltd and Umbanatie Trading and Projects CC.

“On receipt of the tender funds, the first and fourth respondents laundered them to the second and third respondents’ bank accounts,” said Mjonondwana. “Both SAPS and the SA Revenue Service suffered prejudice as the first and fourth respondents were not registered as VAT vendors, nor were they registered for VAT at the time the tender was awarded, hence they failed to pay VAT despite charging SAPS VAT on all their invoices,” she said.

Very pleased that we are starting to see more people brought to book! It would be good to see more, including the corrupt politicians, brought to book!
