This information was contained in a charge sheet that was presented at the Durban Specialised Commercial Crimes Court ON Tuesday. Mthokozisi Pius Duze, ...

To work around this, Duze and Mnyandu allegedly told Mhlanga to appoint a sub-contractor that had the necessary credentials for the work, a move which was later flagged as irregular. Mhlathuze paid Mhlanga and the sub-contractor R12 million, an amount significantly higher than the budget cap of R360 000 that was imposed by the board. The bail application is expected to take place on Wednesday. The sheet alleges that Mhlanga was a “money laundering conduit” for Duze, as he facilitated payments of R800 000 to a board member of Mhlathuze via the bank account of the service provider. “Substantial parts of the work that was claimed to have been performed by Mhlanga, is claimed to have been performed during the level five lockdown when the Republic was shut down and movement of all citizens was restricted,” the sheet states. It is alleged that Duze and Mnyandu acted together to flout the entity’s procurement policies in irregularly appointing Mhlanga Incorporated, a company owned by Ralph Mhlanga, who is one of the accused.
