JOHANNESBURG - The State is expected to present the final charge sheet in the R27 million corruption case involving former African National Congress (ANC) national spokesperson Pule Mabe.
Mabe, along with six others, will be appearing at the Johannesburg Specialised Commercial Crimes Court sitting in Palm Ridge on Monday morning.
They are charged with several counts of fraud, money laundering and contraventions of the Public Finance Management Act.
The charges relate to a 2017 tender scored by Mabe’s company, Enviro Mobi, to supply 200 three-wheeler motorbikes to waste pickers in the City of Ekurhuleni.

It’s been nine months since Mabe, and his co-accused made their first court appearance.
During that time, Mabe has effectively paused his political career.
His legal representative, Zola Majavu, said the former member of Parliament (MP) is unhappy with the delays in the case.
“He's not very happy but he doesn't locate himself above the law. It’s not a nice thing to be subjected to court processes with your wife. The toll is taking on them. It’s unbearable but that is how the legal cookie crumbles and they have to stick it out like everybody else.”
At this stage, it's common knowledge that the Gauteng government paid the full amount for the three-wheeler bikes, however, not all of them were delivered.
All seven accused have indicated they intend to plead not guilty.
