The men met with a Special Investigation Unit investigator at a hotel in Polokwane, and gave a R300,000 bribe which led to their arrest.
Two Limpopo businessmen, aged 44 and 34 respectively, on Monday, appeared in the Mankweng Magistrate’s Court on a charge of corruption.
The Director of Public Prosecutions’ Regional Spokesperson, Mashudu Malabi-Dzhangi said the men were arrested by the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation on 13 November 2019.
“They were arrested after they allegedly bribed a Special Investigation Unit investigator to exclude a part in a report that recommended their company be charged criminally for corruption. They further asked the SIU member to reduce the amount to be paid back,” she explained.
