A former Municipal Infrastructure Support Agent employee has been found guilty of accepting a R160 000 bribe from a communications agency.
The Pretoria Specialised Commercial Crimes Court postponed the corruption case of a government official on Friday to June 6 for sentencing proceedings.
“In 2018, Misa awarded a tender to Digital Vibes to render communication services for 24 months. Tonjeni was nominated as a project manager responsible for the appointment and management of the service provider, and to whom all communication had to be addressed,” says National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Lumka Mahanjana.
“She was released on R5 000 bail, with conditions that she should hand in her passport to the clerk of the court and should not apply for a new passport. Furthermore, she should not travel outside Gauteng unless she applies with the investigating officer,” says Mahanjana. She adds that Tonjeni said she still owes R85 000 because she could not deliver some of the products and pay back her money.
