Dudu Myeni, the former chairperson of South African Airways (SAA) board, and Trevor Mathenjwa, the former Sondolo IT director, have been granted bail of R10,000 each by the Richards Bay Magistrates’ Court. They were arrested on charges of fraud and corruption related to the controversial business BOSASA.
Key points:
- Dudu Myeni is accused of failing to disclose her interests during her tenure as SAA board chairperson.
- She is specifically charged with corruption for receiving gratifications from BOSASA subsidiary Sondolo IT, provided by Trevor Mathenjwa, the company’s former director. Myeni allegedly received security upgrades for her Richards Bay property valued at R200,000 between May 2014 and March 2015.
- Myeni is also accused of benefiting from hotel accommodation and travel expenses for herself and individuals close to her, facilitated by BOSASA’s Blake Travels, amounting to over R107,000 between May 2014 and March 2015.
- The case is scheduled to return to court in November.
This development is part of ongoing anti-corruption efforts in South Africa, targeting individuals involved in alleged corrupt practices within both the public and private sectors.
