Hawks nab company director for tender fraud as rented park homes repossessed

“The investigation allegedly established that the suspect had obtained the park homes from a rental company under a rental arrangement and subsequently delivered them to the Department of Transport, as they constituted the contracted supply under the tender.”A company director is expected to appear in court on fraud charges after allegedly using rented park homes to fulfil a Department of Transport tender, with the units later repossessed when rental payments reportedly went unpaid.

According to the Hawks, the matter stems from allegations of fraud linked to a tender issued by the Department of Transport in 2023 for the supply, delivery, and assembly of prefabricated modular units for the Middledrift Roads Maintenance Camp, reportedly situated within the Raymond Mhlaba Local Municipality area.
