Former North West health officials in the dock over R86m corruption allegations
A corruption case dating back to 2007 involving R86m for hospital upgrades in the North West Health Department has finally reached court — one of several corruption cases before the court that involve the provincial government. In 2007, the North West Health Department set aside R86-million for service providers to supply medical equipment for two new hospitals in Vryburg and Ledig. The case was finally brought to court earlier this year, and the accused made a brief appearance in the Molopo Magistrates' Court on Friday, 6 June. The case involves seven accused, facing charges of fraud, corruption, and contravention of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA). The seven are: Lydia Keneliwe Sebego, former head of the North West Department of Health; Dr Andrew Lekalakala, also a former head of department; Vuyo Sipho Wesley Mbulawa, former chief director; Kabelo Elliot Andrew Motene, department director; Ntabeleng Florence Matlapeng, deputy director; Joseph Mojoji Leshaba, director of the company Raliform Investment Holdings; and Roulgh Lotwane Mabe, director of the company MR Property. Sebego faces two counts of contravention of PFMA and one of corruption. Dr Lekalakala faces three counts of contravention of PFMA and one corruption charge. Mbulawa is charged with six counts of fraud, while Mabe faces seven counts of fraud. Motene faces four counts of fraud, while Matlapeng faces one count of fraud. They were arrested by the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks) at Mahikeng on 26 March 2025, and released the same day on R2,000 bail each. Appearing in court on Friday, the case was postponed to 25 August 2025 to allow counsel to consult with their clients and prepare for arguments. According to Sivenathi Gunya, the North West National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson, it is alleged that in 2007, Sebego, as head of department, signed service-level agreements with two companies run by Mabe and Leshaba. These contracts, Gunya added, were for the supply and maintenance of medical equipment for the new hospitals. 'However, investigations revealed that the service providers only partially fulfilled their contractual obligations. Although some equipment was reportedly purchased and some maintenance carried out, the companies allegedly submitted fraudulent invoices for undelivered equipment and services that were never rendered. These invoices were paid by the department,' he said. As a result, the state contends that senior officials from the department acted in common purpose to approve these payments, despite the services not being fully delivered, resulting in a financial loss of more than R86-million. It is also alleged that the department's supply chain policies and bidding processes were disregarded during the appointment of the service providers. Corruption plagues North West This is not the first time that funds meant to boost community services have allegedly been misappropriated in the North West Health Department. Dr Lekalakala, one of the seven accused in the R86-million fraud and corruption case, is also charged in a Gupta-linked fraud case, where it is alleged that Lekalakala approved payments of R30-million to Mediosa before it rendered any services. Daily Maverick reported in May 2022 on the disastrous repercussions of the saga throughout the province, with rural residents bearing the brunt – including waiting for up to eight hours for an ambulance, drug shortages, high travel costs and walking vast distances to clinics. The second hospital-related fraud and corruption investigation involves the R470-million project for the Brits District Hospital. Obakeng Eden Mongale, the former head of the North West public works department and current head of the province's health department, appeared in the Mahikeng Magistrates' Court on Thursday, 2 November 2023, in connection with the alleged irregular awarding of a tender worth R470-million to build Brits Hospital in 2008. He was released on R50,000 bail and ordered to surrender his passport and not to interfere with State witnesses. He is charged with contravening the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA). It is alleged that in 2008, he awarded a R470-million tender to Ilima Projects and Tsoga Developers to build Brits Hospital. Lieutenant-Colonel Tinyiko Mathebula, North West Hawks spokesperson, confirmed to Daily Maverick on Tuesday that both cases are before court. A third matter before court is that the Zondo commission found that an SA Express contract involving R400-million was riddled with procurement irregularities, and money was paid for services not rendered. Also, in November 2024, Thabang Mahlakoleng, former head of the North West Department of Community Safety and Transport Management, was sentenced to two years in prison or a fine of R200,000 for his role in the alleged R400-million tender fraud involving SA Express. This trial has been scheduled for 21-25 July. Hospital projects thwarted The Hawks' probe into the R86-million fraud and corruption case reveals that in 2007, the North West Department of Health initiated a project to build hospitals in Vryburg and Ledig. Sebego, the then Head of Department (HoD), allegedly appointed and signed service-level agreements with two service providers: MR Property and Raliform Investment Holdings. The service providers were appointed to furnish medical equipment to the two hospitals. However the Hawks probe revealed that Sebego allegedly flouted procurement prescripts when entering into service-level agreements with the service providers. The project was rejuvenated in August 2015 and November 2016. The department entered into a new contract with the service providers for the maintenance of medical equipment. According to the Hawks spokesperson Mathebula, Dr Lekalakala, as the new HoD, reportedly signed the service-level agreements. 'Dr Lekalakala and Sebego allegedly received gratification when the department entered into a contract with the service providers. It is alleged that the service providers claimed for services that were never rendered,' he said. The investigation, Mathebula said, also found that Vuyo Mbulawa acknowledged receipt of the ordered equipment when there had been no delivery. 'It was further revealed that Motene and Matlapeng authorised payments to service providers for services that were never rendered. These included logistical costs and exchange rate costs. As a result, the department has reportedly suffered a loss of over R86-million,' he said. The acting North West Hawks head, Brigadier Silas Munzhedzi, and the Director of Public Prosecutions in North West, Dr Rachel Makhari, have welcomed the arrest and subsequent court appearance.

Cape town law enforcement officer appears in court for kidnapping and murder
Law Enforcement officer Thandile Khesa appeared in Blue Downs Magistrates' Court for kidnapping and murder. Image: Ayanda Ndamane Independent Media A City of Cape Town Law Enforcement officer appeared in the Blue Downs Magistrates' Court on Tuesday in connection with a kidnapping and murder case that has shocked the community. Thandile Khesa, 43, appeared composed as he stepped into the dock, where he was formally charged with kidnapping and murder. His arrest on Monday morning followed a multi-disciplinary, intelligence-led operation involving the Hawks, the Provincial Anti-Kidnapping Unit and Provincial Organised Crime detectives. State prosecutor Litha Duka told the court that Khesa allegedly used a marked City of Cape Town Law Enforcement vehicle to transport the victim from Bellville to the location where he was assaulted. The victim later died in hospital as a result of his injuries. CCTV footage allegedly captured the movement of the official vehicle from Bellville to Khayelitsha. Khesa has been added as the fifth accused in the case, joining Mogamat Samuels, Thokozani Kamnjunga, Existing Mudivari, and Yasseen Jele. The four co-accused are expected to appear in court on Thursday, 12 June, for a bail application. The State is opposing bail. Reading from the charge sheet, Duka explained: 'The deceased had gone to view a vehicle advertised by Accused 1, Samuels, and was subsequently kidnapped. The accused demanded a ransom of R100,000 from the victim's family. "The family managed to pay R5,000, but the victim was nonetheless assaulted and died of his injuries. Khesa used a marked City of Cape Town Law Enforcement bakkie in the commission of this crime.' Hawks spokesperson Siyabulela Vukubi provided further details, stating that the victim was last seen on 16 May in Kraaifontein by a friend, who said he was headed to Bellville to view a vehicle. A short time later, the victim phoned another friend, reporting that he had been kidnapped and was being assaulted. The suspects allegedly demanded a ransom of R100,000, later reduced to R10,000, of which R5,000 was paid. Investigators tracked the suspects to addresses in Philippi and Kleinvlei, which led to the arrest of the four initial accused. They were later led by one of the suspects to a shallow grave in the dunes between Monwabisi Beach and Macassar, where the victim's body was recovered. 'On 17 May 2025, the team followed all the leads that led them to addresses in Philippi and Kleinvlei which resulted in the arrest of the four accused. "The team was led to an open field on the dunes between Monwabisi beach and Macassar, where one of the accused pointed out a shallow grave where the victim was killed and buried," Vukubi said.

BUSINESS INSIGHTS: Unpacking tenant eviction in South Africa
As a landlord, one of the most frequent questions we hear revolves around the 'what ifs.' What if my tenant stops paying rent? What if they break the lease? What if they damage the property through negligence? For most landlords, tenant evictions are a last resort, however, it is important to arm yourself with the necessary tools in cases where you have no option but to seek legal recourse. The reality is that when good tenants go south, landlords can quickly find themselves entangled in protracted legal battles. In a notable case from Stellenbosch, a tenant recently amassed nearly R1 million in unpaid rent to two landlords. Despite court orders mandating repayment and the auctioning of his possessions, the landlords have yet to recover the owed funds. This situation underscores concerns that South Africa's tenant-friendly laws may inadvertently expose landlords to significant financial risks when tenants exploit legal protections. The Rental Housing Act of 1999 governs the relationship between landlords and tenants in South Africa, outlining the rights and responsibilities of both parties. Under this Act, tenants can only be evicted for valid reasons recognised by the law, which constitute a breach of a lease agreement. These include: Rental arrears. Persistent late or incomplete rent payments may lead to eviction, though some landlords allow a grace period to settle the balance. Engaging in illegal activities on the property. Tenants involved in criminal activities like theft, drug dealing, or sex work can be evicted with proper evidence. Property damage. Tenants must maintain the property reasonably; negligence or failure to report structural issues may result in eviction. Lease agreement expiration. If a tenant stays beyond the lease's end, and you have given notice according to the lease agreement and legislation, they become an illegal occupier and must vacate. As grounds for a legal eviction are based on a breach of the lease agreement, it's important to note that the 2022 Rental Housing Amendment Act requires that all lease agreements be in writing, which is the responsibility of the landlord. Any lease agreements that have been verbally agreed upon are not binding and therefore will not hold up in court. Under the Act, evictions cannot be based on discriminatory reasons, such as race, gender, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation. Furthermore, tenants cannot be evicted for requesting repairs and withholding rent until these repairs are made, forming a tenant's association or refusing to pay an unauthorised rental increase. If a landlord fails to follow proper eviction procedures, as outlined below, the eviction can be deemed unlawful and challenged by the tenant in court, even if the reasons for the eviction are valid. The Prevention of Illegal Eviction and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act No. 19 of 1998 (PIE Act) outlines the proper procedures for evicting illegal occupants as follows: Step 1. When a tenant violates the terms of the lease agreement, the landlord's initial step should be to send a formal letter to inform the tenant of the breach. The letter should include a specific timeframe, typically set at 20 business days, for the tenant to rectify the breach. Step 2. If the tenant does not vacate the property upon lease termination, the landlord must inform the tenant of their intention to seek an eviction order through the court. Following this notification, the landlord can initiate the eviction process by filing an application at the Magistrate's Court that holds jurisdiction over the property. Step 3. A written notice of the eviction hearing must be personally delivered to the unlawful occupier(s) of the property, by the sheriff at least 14 days before the court date. The notice must clearly specify the date and time of the hearing, detail the reasons for the eviction, and acknowledge the unlawful occupier's right to present a defence. Step 4. All parties are required to attend the eviction hearing in court. If the unlawful occupier(s) does not appear, the court may either postpone the hearing or proceed in their absence, potentially resulting in the court granting an eviction order. Step 5. If the landlord is successful, the court issues a warrant of eviction to the sheriff, authorising them to remove the tenant's possessions from the property. In terms of costs, even in the case of an unopposed eviction, your legal costs can range between R25 -R35,000, excluding the mandatory sheriff fees. This is why it's essential to thoroughly review a prospective tenant's rental application before signing a lease. This includes assessing their credit score, contacting references, and, in cases of uncertainty, conducting a background check. Sometimes the red flags aren't so apparent so it's crucial to perform due diligence. Have you experienced challenges with tenant evictions or have tips for fellow landlords?
