Former SAA chair Dudu Myeni granted R10k bail in fraud, corruption case
Former South African Airways chairperson Dudu Myeni and former Bosasa director Trevor Mathenjwa have been granted R10 000 bail each.
The duo appeared at the Richards Bay Magistrate's Court on Friday after earlier handing themselves over to the police.
They face charges of fraud and corruption totalling R300 000.
The charges are linked to alleged kickbacks that Myeni received during her time at SAA, which the National Prosecuting Authority believes were facilitated by Mathenjwa.
“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," said Investigating Directorate spokesperson Sindisiwe Seboka.
“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 R200 000.
“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 R107 000”.
Myeni was the SAA chairperson between 2012 and 2017.
The case has been postponed to 17 November.
