Thapelo Mogashoa, 36, who works for Department of Home Affairs in Postmasburg, was arrested earlier on Wednesday by the Hawks’ Serious Corruption Investigation and faces charges of contravening the prevention and combating of Corrupt Activities Act 12 of 2004.
According to Hawks spokesperson Nomthandazo Mnisi, Mogashoa was reported to the authorities after he demanded a R7,500 bribe from two immigrants that were arrested over invalid documents.
“It is alleged that during June 2019, the complainant was arrested with other illegal immigrants due to invalid documents and he was later released after it was established that his documents were correct.
“The other illegal immigrants were kept in custody as they awaited judgement from Postmasburg Magistrate court.
