A second retired SA National Defence Force (SANDF) brigadier general has been arrested and charged with fraud in connection with a R2 million tender for buffs and goggles for soldiers undertaking peacekeeping missions in the Darfur region of Sudan.
Brigadier General Linda John Selepe, the director of Peace Support Operations, appeared in the Pretoria Commercial Crime Court on Friday alongside another SANDF official, Sergeant Sibusiso Bewana.
Both men
have been charged with one count of fraud, stemming from alleged
misrepresentations that ultimately resulted in the awarding of a
multimillion-rand tender to Phomolo Enterprises in 2016.
