Twelve police officers arrested over alleged R360m SAPS tender fraud

Twelve police officers were arrested during a raid on Tuesday evening for allegedly assisting controversial businessman Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala in securing an irregular tender from SAPS.

The raid was conducted by the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC).

The officers have been linked to a R360 million tender awarded to Medicare24 Tshwane District, which is owned by Matlala.

The group is expected to appear before the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday on fraud and corruption charges.
