Two Emalahleni Councillors expected in court for corruption
Two Members of the Mayoral Committee (MMCs) in the Emalahleni Local Municipality are expected to appear before the Emalahleni Magistrates’ Court on Thursday for corruption.
The two councillors aged 54 and 55 were arrested at the Witbank dam by the Middelburg based Serious Corruption on Wednesday.
They received a R20 000 gratification that is part of an alleged R500 000 gratification demanded for the victim to qualify for the extension of a business lease agreement.
Mpumalanga Hawks spokesperson Magonseni Nkosi says a payment of R40 000 was also made in February.
"According to information, the twenty-thousand rand paid on Wednesday followed a forty-thousand rand payment in February 2025 and was equally shared between the suspects.
"The twenty-thousand rand that was paid on Wednesday was recovered. Two luxury vehicles used during the commission of crime were seized."
