10-year prison stretch awaits Mangaung local municipality official
He said that in 2003, Sitech Systems Ltd entered into a contract with the municipality to install the tracking devices. A year later a tender was issued to formalise the service and three companies were shortlisted. Sitech Systems was not amongst those.
"However, through Nakedi, they were offered the contract even when they were not shortlisted." A local company, Sinako Property Solutions, was sub-contracted since Sitech Systems was Gauteng-based.Nakedi appealed his sentence in the Bloemfontein High Court. The contravention of the Poca and money-laundering charges were set aside, but the fraud and corruption charges were upheld.
As a result, he must now serve the 10 and 8 years imprisonment sentences he received for corruption and fraud, which will run concurrently. Eleven others who benefited from the tender were tried separately. They were sentenced in 2012 by the Bloemfontein High Court to terms of between 7 and 10 years in jail on charges of corruption, money laundering and fraud.
