Show Notes
Two suspects in a massive Mpumalanga education tender fraud case, valued at $114 million, have warrants issued for their arrest after skipping court. Thirty-eight out of forty accused appeared in court, facing charges including corruption, fraud, theft, money laundering, and PFMA violations. The no-shows, Consolation Mdluli and Brigitt Mthalana, must appear by April and July respectively, or face arrest and potential bail loss. The group received bail ranging from $5,000 to $50,000, with Ruth Khoza needing private lawyers due to financial constraints. The case is postponed to July 2026, as investigations into education department tenders and other scandals, such as the $224 million laptop fiasco, continue.
