This after their matter was transferred to the High Court by Mmabatho Regional court on their last appearance in Friday 06 September 2019 on charges of fraud. 

The two are out on bail of R20 000 each after they were both released in August, following a short court appearance in the regional court.

North West Hawks spokesperson, Tlangelani Rikhotso, previously told OFM News that the pair is facing charges of fraud following Lekalakala's alleged irregular appointment as the head of the department in 2014. 

As previously reported, Lekalakala has been subjected to disciplinary proceedings within his department after he was charged with procurement irregularities involving the payment of R30 million to the Gupta-linked MEDIOSA Company and the misrepresentation of facts after he stated he had worked as a chief director of the department.
