12 November 2026 – The Palm Ridge Specialised Commercial Crime Court postponed the fraud case against TV producer, Dumakude Mayivuke Ndlovu and his co-accused, Maxwell Mloyi to 9 February 2027, for a formal pretrial. The accused have indicated that they will be filing applications for the relaxation of their bail conditions as they intend to travel.
The Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) spokesperson, Henry Mamothame said a hearing for this application is set for 3 December 2026. Mamothame said the state placed it on record that the representations filed by the accused were rejected by the office of the National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP).
“It was further placed on record that the panel that reviews the IDAC cases has confirmed that the case was properly authorised and that it falls within the IDAC mandate.
“The two are facing 12 charges of tax fraud relating to Ndlovu’s company income tax following a collaborative investigation by the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) and the South African Revenue Service (SARS),” he said.
