Pule Mabe, a former African National Congress (ANC) spokesperson, and six other suspects have been arrested for alleged corruption involving fraud, theft, and contravention of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) and Prevention of Organized Crime Act (POCA).
The suspects, including high-ranking officials, company directors, and a former Member of Parliament, handed themselves over to the Hawks' Serious Commercial Crime Investigation unit in Gauteng.
The Specialised Investigating Unit (SIU) forensic report revealed that the Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development awarded a R27 million tender to Enviro-Mobi in March 2017. However, the Chief Director and Chief Financial Officer allegedly processed and paid R25 million to Enviro-Mobi for 200 motorized three-wheelers, which remained in the service provider's possession.
They are expected back in court on 25 March 2025.
