Overview
- The Pretoria High Court accepted a plea and sentence agreement after he admitted three corruption counts and one money-laundering count.
- He was given 10 years on each count, wholly suspended for five years, contingent on full cooperation with IDAC and SAPS through affidavits and testimony.
- Investigators plan to deploy his evidence to advance cases against others tied to the Bosasa procurement network.
- The charges arise from four Department of Correctional Services tenders from 2004 to 2007 worth more than R1.8 billion for catering, CCTV, fencing and television monitoring systems.
- The NPA’s Asset Forfeiture Unit will pursue a POCA confiscation inquiry, with his ill health noted as a factor in the suspended sentence.
