Western Cape police have arrested eight suspects allegedly involved in tender fraud and corruption in Cape Town.
Provincial police spokesperson Brig Novela Potelwa said on Tuesday an investigation team had arrested one of the suspects in the Eastern Cape. Potelwa said the investigation was linked to alleged fraudulent activities in the city’s human settlements directorate.
“As part of a protracted investigation into alleged fraudulent and corrupt activities at the city’s human settlements directorate, the Western Cape SAPS commercial crimes unit detectives with the anti-gang unit’s organised crime investigators swooped on a location in the Eastern Cape where they arrested a 46-year-old suspect on Monday evening,” said Potelwa.
“The arrest follows an investigation initiated by commercial crimes detectives that saw the investigators descending on the City of Cape Town offices in March 2023 and seizing a number of items as part of their probe.”
