Suspect appears in court for attempted bribery
A 22-year-old suspect is expected to appear before the Pretoria North Magistrate Court this morning for attempting to bribe a senior Tshwane Metro Police official.
The suspect was arrested on Thursday by members of the Pretoria-based Hawks’ Serious Corruption Investigation (SCI) unit.
It is alleged that on 9 January 2026, a Commissioner from the Tshwane Metropolitan Police Department received an email from the suspect, who claimed to be an unsuccessful applicant in the City of Tshwane recruitment process.
In the email, the suspect allegedly requested the Commissioner’s assistance to secure her appointment and offered a gratification of R10 000 in exchange for facilitating the process.
The matter was subsequently reported to the Pretoria Hawks’ SCI for further investigation.
On 22 January 2026, a police operation was conducted, which culminated in the arrest of the suspect after she allegedly handed over an amount of R3 000 to the complainant at Wonderboom Junction Shopping Centre.
The Provincial Head of the Hawks in Gauteng, Major General Ebrahim Kadwa, commended the Serious Corruption Investigation team for their swift response to the complaint.
He further urged public officials to promptly report any acts of corruption to the Hawks. – SAnews.gov.za
