In 2021, the accused allegedly attempted to sell false Namakhoi Municipality tender documents for a tender valued at R15 million to a certain businessman. The businessman reported the matter to the Springbok based Hawks’ Serious Organised Crime Investigation. A sting operation was put together, as the accused demanded R100 000-00 for the tender to be secured. An arrangement was reached with the accused to receive an amount of R10 000-00 as a down payment. The accused was later arrested with fake tender documents and cash.<\/p>\n
The accused made numerous court appearances wherein he pleaded guilty in terms of Section 112 of the Criminal Procedure Act, resulting in a three-year direct imprisonment sentence. He was further declared unfit to possess a firearm.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
