Former Transnet executives Brian Molefe and Anoj Singh and several co-accused face various charges, including fraud, money laundering and corruption.It's been described as a"seminal" moment because this is the first time such high-level government employees are in the dock in connection with state capture allegations.
The charges relate to the controversial McKinsey contract to advise Transnet on the procurement of more than 1 000 locomotives from a Chinese supplier. Cowan described Monday's arrests as a"seminal moment" because Molefe and Singh are the most senior government employees who have been charged to date in connection with state capture with the Gupta family.
