Mbombela Stadium corruption accused to appear in Nelspruit court

───   09:16 Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Nelspruit - Six men accused of corruption in the building of the Mbombela stadium are expected to appear in the Nelspruit Magistrate's Court today.

The six are Jacob Dladla, Tebogo Kubeka, Herbert Thelebi, Kaizer Chiefs' manager Bobby Motaung, Christiaan Grib and Micheal Romanos. Grib was the CEO of Lefika Emerging Equity (Pty) Ltd while Motaung and Romanos were directors of the company.

Lefika secured a tender for the construction of the Nelspruit stadium ahead of the 2010 soccer World Cup. The group was formally charged with fraud and corruption and with contravening the Municipal Finance Management Act on Friday. They allegedly forged SA Revenue Service documents to get the contract to build the stadium.
