Two men, aged 40 and 49, were arrested for allegedly trying to bribe Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EMPD) officers with R30,000 after they were caught red-handed with various fake branded clothing items in the Boksburg North area.
The men were arrested Tuesday at about 1pm by officers from the EMPD's Community Liaison Unit.
EMPD spokesperson Katlego Mphahlele said that while officers were patrolling the area, they received information from a reliable source about a warehouse suspected of storing counterfeit goods.
She said the officers immediately proceeded to an industrial area on Dr. Vosloorus Street.
'Upon arrival, officers found two males and explained the reason for their surprise visit.
'One male approached the officers and offered a bribe of R30,000, while requesting officers to leave his business premises,' Mphahlele said.

The six accused of being involved in a rhino trafficking syndicate. Image: NPA Well-known nature conservationist John Hume, 83, is among six people accused of running a rhino horn smuggling syndicate. The accused, Hume, Clive Melville, Izak Du Toit, Elizabeth van Niekerk, Mattheus Poggenpoel, and Johannes Hennop appeared in the Pretoria Magistrate's Court on Tuesday. According to the National Prosecuting Authority, Hume was granted R100,000 bail. "Melville and van Niekerk were each granted R10,000 bail while du Toit, Poggenpoel and Hennop were granted R20,000 bail," said NPA spokesperson, Lumka Mahanjana. Mahanjana explained that the six face 55 charges for racketeering, fraud, contravention of the National Environmental Management Biodiversity Act (NAMBA), contravention of Riotous Assemblies Act, theft and money laundering. She said between 2017 and 2024, the accused allegedly operated an international rhino horn trafficking syndicate and defrauded the Department of Forestry, Fisheries, and the Environment (DFFE). "They allegedly obtained permits to trade rhino horn locally, while intending to channel the horns into illegal international markets in Southeast Asia. The fraudulent scheme is estimated to involve 964 rhino horns valued at R250 million," Mahanjana stated. After intensive investigations by the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation's (DPCI) Wildlife Trafficking Section of the Serious Organised Crime Investigation Unit, based at national headquarters, the six handed themselves over at the Pretoria Central Police Station on August 19, 2025, where they were formally arrested. Former founder and owner of the Platinum Rhino Conservation Enterprise, John Hume, transport maintenance manager, Clive John Mervan Melville, practising attorney, Izak Hermanus Du Toit, Director of a non-profit organisation, Elizabeth Catharina Van Niekerk, insurance broker and part-time farmer, Mattheus Hendrikus Wessels Poggenpoel, game reserve manager, Johannes Abraham Hennop appeared in the Pretoria Magistrate's Court on Tuesday. Image: NPA Mahanjana said during bail proceedings, the accused asked to be released on bail because they were not flight risks. "They further stated that they had cooperated with the police investigations. Through their affidavits, Melville disclosed to the court that he had 2019 previous conviction for fraud and being in possession and transportation of rhino horns which he was sentenced to pay a fine," she said. Poggenpoel also disclosed to the court that he had a 2009 previous conviction of possession of a rhino horn where he paid an admission of guilt fee of R2500. "Poggenpoel also disclosed that he has a pending case that will be appearing on September 17 at Winburg Magistrates' Court because during the visit to his residence, the investigation team found ammunition that was not locked away in a safe and supposedly scheduled medicine without a permit," the NPA said. "The state, Advocate Patsy Jacobs read into the record an affidavit by the investigating officer Edward Du Plessis, confirming that the State did not oppose bail as the accused were not flight risks, their addresses had been verified, and they had cooperated with investigators. The State, however, requested bail conditions," Mahanjana said.

Suspended IDT CEO accuses public works minister of prejudging her
Malaka was suspended after a forensic investigation into an oxygen plant tender worth more than R800m, which also linked her to an upmarket property under scrutiny. She also stands accused of allegedly offering R60,000 to Daily Maverick journalist Myburgh to suppress reporting about her. Though video footage of the alleged bribe was released by the publication, Malaka insistws the recording was edited to her detriment. 'If you look at the entire video, it doesn't reflect what happened because what is showed to the public is snippets of what I said and what the spokesperson said but not what the journalist said,' she said. She admitted to meeting Myburgh but maintained she did not initiate the encounter. Instead, she claimed it was coordinated by IDT communications specialist Phasha Makgolane, who had a working relationship with the journalist. 'I never bribed anyone. I never took out money and gave it to anyone so I am not going to comment further on the allegations because it is a legal matter and I am willing to go to court to prove my innocence.' Malaka said she believed she was 'set up' during the meeting with Myburgh. 'I highlighted how the negative articles affected me and my family and he said he had a conversation with Mr Phasha and they had agreed to have a working relationship moving forward and that he had asked for a token of appreciation. I said I don't know anything about that. Maybe let's call Mr Phasha to come back. That's when Mr Phasha returned and the journalist kept saying, 'Mr Phasha, where's the token of appreciation?' and then Mr Phasha took out the money. I assumed that was what they had talked about before because they had met several times,' she said. The Daily Maverick this week released more clips from the video, in which it alleges Malaka can clearly be heard saying the word 'sixty' after she was asked how much money she and Makgolane had brought with them in a Dior carrier bag.

New Tebogo Malaka bribe footage verifies IDT CEO said there's ‘sixty' in Dior bag
Newly released video footage of this journalist's infamous meeting with Tebogo Malaka pours cold water on the suspended IDT CEO's denials of her role in a highly publicised bribe attempt. Daily Maverick has decided to release fuller clips from secret recordings of a meeting between this journalist and Tebogo Malaka, suspended CEO of the Independent Development Trust (IDT). Malaka can clearly be heard saying the word 'sixty', after she was asked how much money she and IDT spokesperson Phasha Makgolane had brought with them. Makgolane can also be heard confirming that the sum of money in the Dior shopping bag amounted to R60,000. The meeting at a wine farm near Stellenbosch took place on Sunday, 3 August. Daily Maverick's subsequent video and a related exposé into Malaka's Waterfall property has sent shockwaves through South Africa. The story that Malaka wanted to bury delves into a botched IDT EPWP scheme and prominent businessman Collen Mashawana's involvement in a property currently being built for Malaka inside Gauteng's Waterfall Country Estate. Mashawana funnelled at least R200,000 into House Malaka. This while his eponymous charitable foundation secured a R60-million contract from Malaka's IDT to run employment schemes for nearly 2000 people across five provinces. Scores of the EPWP workers were ripped off by the Collen Mashawana Foundation, with some of them receiving only fractions of the salaries that were due to them. Despite the video evidence, Malaka and her family trust have gone on the offensive, claiming that she had no knowledge of the money Makgolane placed on the table. She also claimed that she was somehow being 'set up' by unnamed forces. In the extended footage we can now release, Malaka can be clearly heard discussing a cash bribe and further lucrative tenders in exchange for this journalist's silence. Malaka can also be heard admitting that Makgolane had briefed her on earlier discussions over possible payments to this journalist. DM
