Court grants Myeni bail in fraud and corruption case
The former South African Airways (SAA) board chairperson, Dudu Myeni, has been granted a bail of R10,000 by the Richards Bay Magistrates Court for fraud and corruption.
She along with former Sondolo IT Director, Trevor Mathenjwa appeared in the Richards Bay Magistrate’s Court on Friday.
Investigating Directorate spokesperson Sindiswe Seboka said they were appearing on charges linked to Bosasa corruption amounting to R300 000.
Seboka said the pair was arrested this morning on charges of corruption and fraud of over R300k, for gratifications offered and received from BOSASA and its subsidiary Sondolo IT.
“During the tenure of Myeni as chairperson of the SAA, she had a legal duty to disclose her interests in terms of the SAA Conflict of Interest Policy, which we allege she failed to do so,” Seboka added.
“Myeni thus stands accused of corruption for receiving gratification from BOSASA subsidiary Sondolo IT, offered by Trevor Mathenjwa, the company’s former director. Myeni is accused of having received security upgrades for her Richards Bay premises during May 2014 to March 2015, to the value of R200k. She is further accused of benefiting from hotel accommodation and travel expenses for her and persons close to her, from BOSASA, facilitated by Blake Travels, between May 2014 and March 2015 for over R107k,” Seboka said.
