A businessman, 44, is expected to appear in the Vanderbijlpark Magistrates’ Court on Monday (7/9) on charges of corruption, fraud and theft linked to an alleged R16m fleet tender at the Emfuleni municipality.

Mpho Malema was arrested by the Gauteng Political Killings Task Team (PKTT) at a mall in Pretoria on Thursday (3/9). The latest arrest is expected to shed further light on the municipality’s controversial vehicle tender, which involved the procurement of 18 vehicles, of which only seven were allegedly delivered.

Malema’s arrest follows the earlier arrest of former Emfuleni fleet manager Lerato Mpholo, who was apprehended by the PKTT in July in connection with the same investigation. Mpholo, 42, faces charges of fraud, corruption and theft, and has since been released on R25,000 bail.

The investigation into the R16m tender was initially linked to complaints made by murdered Emfuleni municipal accountant and whistleblower Martha Mani Rantsofu. Gauteng police previously confirmed Rantsofu reported several alleged irregularities to police in March, including concerns surrounding the procurement of the 18 municipal vehicles.

“The suspect was arrested at a mall in Pretoria following an investigation into the tender,” said police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe. “The supplier was contracted to deliver 18 vehicles, including municipal trucks, but only seven vehicles were delivered."

A businessman, 44, is expected to appear in the Vanderbijlpark Magistrates’ Court on Monday (7/9) on charges of corruption, fraud and theft linked to an alleged R16m fleet tender at the Emfuleni municipality.

Mpho Malema was arrested by the Gauteng Political Killings Task Team (PKTT) at a mall in Pretoria on Thursday (3/9). The latest arrest is expected to shed further light on the municipality’s controversial vehicle tender, which involved the procurement of 18 vehicles, of which only seven were allegedly delivered.

“The suspect was arrested at a mall in Pretoria following an investigation into the tender,” said police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe. “The supplier was contracted to deliver 18 vehicles, including municipal trucks, but only seven vehicles were delivered."

Malema’s arrest comes just a few hours after the PKTT arrested Janitha van Reenen, 25, the alleged mastermind behind the R9.9m fraud syndicate accused of defrauding Emfuleni’s electrical and revenue departments. Van Reenen was re-arrested shortly after being released on R10,000 bail in an unrelated matter on Thursday (3/9).

She joins seven other suspects who were previously arrested in connection with the alleged syndicate. They are David Senekal, 31, Caroline Maduna, 39, Kenneth Mahobe, 35, Hlawutelo Baloyi, 29, P**e Masilo, 36, Andries Maduna, 48, and Sibusiso Tshabalala, 46. The accused are Emfuleni officials and subcontractors working for the municipality.

DA mayoral candidate in Emfuleni Kingsol Chabalala, who blew the whistle on the alleged corruption through his role in the Gauteng legislature, welcomed the arrest.

“This is the very same tender scandal that slain whistleblower Martha Mani Rantsofu exposed. The arrest of yet another corruption-accused individual is exactly what Rantsofu’s loved ones, and the people of Emfuleni at large, deserve to see.”

LIMPOPO PREMIER DR RAMATHUBA RECONSTITUTES EXECUTIVE COUNCIL

Limpopo Premier, Dr Phophi Ramathuba, has today announced the first reconstitution of the Provincial Executive Council since the inception of the 7th administration in July 2024.

This strategic realignment comes following a rigorous assessment of the performance of the Executive Council, conducted in response to the feedback and lived experiences of the residents of Limpopo and to ensure the administration meets the highest requirements for operational efficiency and service provision.

Announcing the changes this morning, Premier Dr Ramathuba emphasised that while the decision was not taken lightly, it is a necessary step to accelerate the province's developmental agenda.

"Each member of the previous Executive Council has worked tirelessly to advance the ideals and goals of this administration. I extend my sincere gratitude to those who have served with dedication in making Limpopo a better place for all. However, as a government, we must constantly evaluate our progress. There is always room for improvement and to better serve our people, we must ensure our team is agile, focused and ready to meet the evolving demands of our province," Premier Dr Ramathuba stated.

The Premier acknowledged that Limpopo faces significant structural challenges, including high levels of unemployment, persistent poverty and hurdles in accessing basic services. She challenged the newly reconstituted Executive Council to view these not as obstacles, but as urgent mandates.

"To the new Executive Council, I reiterate: the people of Limpopo are watching and they are waiting for results. We are here to serve and our success will be measured by our ability to turn around the lives of the ordinary residents in our villages, townships and towns. This administration must be characterized by work, dedication and an unwavering commitment to inclusive growth," the Premier added.

The new members of the Executive Council were officially sworn into office on the morning of 02 September 2026.

The Reconstituted Limpopo Executive Council is as follows:

1. Member of the Executive Council for Agriculture and Rural Development: Mr Basikopo Makamu
2. Member of the Executive Council for Education: Ms Mavhungu Lerule-Ramakhanya
3. Member of the Executive Council for Social Development: Ms Florence Radzilani
4. Member of the Executive Council for Transport and Community Safety: Ms Nakedi Kekana
5. Member of the Executive Council for Economic Development, Environment and Tourism: Dr Tsh*tereke Matibe
6. Member of the Executive Council for Finance: Mr Kgabo Mahoai
7. Member of the Executive Council for Public Works, Roads and Infrastructure: Mr Ernest Rachoene
8. Member of the Executive Council for Sport, Arts and Culture: Ms Constance Kupa-Mabuza
9. Member of the Executive Council for Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs: Mr P**e Shayi
10. Member of the Executive Council for Health: Mr Eddie Maila

The Premier has expressed confidence that this refreshed team will provide the necessary leadership to stabilise service provision and drive sustainable economic growth across the province.

Feroz Khan reportedly re-admitted to hospital:

Sources say Maj-Gen Feroz Khan has been re-admitted to a Johannesburg hospital, nearly two months after he was shot and wounded in Houghton on 28 June.

Khan was subpoenaed to appear before the Madlanga Commission this week. He was also served with a further Rule 3 notice recently and required to answer additional questions.

The Commission previously led evidence against Khan in his absence after he was unable to testify following the shooting.

Meanwhile, reports today say that Khan has taken the SAPS to the Labour Court following a disciplinary process that could see him dismissed.

Khan remains a key figure in the Madlanga Commission’s investigation into alleged corruption, criminality and political interference within the criminal justice system.
