The director of a company, who is accused of committing fraud to win a more than R2 million tender to provide buffs and military goggles for soldiers undertaking peacekeeping missions in Darfur, Sudan, claims to now be an Uber driver, making R2 500 a month.

Phomolo Enterprises director Mugisha Charles Mwali appeared in the Pretoria Commercial Crimes Court on Thursday morning alongside his co-accused, a retired SA National Defence Force (SANDF) brigadier-general, Mendis Eddy Mondlane.

Both accused, who were arrested by military police on Wednesday, were charged with fraud relating to a tender to provide 3 000 heat-resistant buffs and military goggles required at various South African bases in Operation Cordite in Sudan.
