14 December 2025- Three accused, Menzi Mngadi (42) driver, Peter Legong (39), ward councillor at Madibeng Local Municipality and ANC regional secretary in Bojanala, Raymond Mogaile (40), have appeared briefly in the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court following their arrest at Menlyn on 11 December 2025, by the Anti-Corruption Investigation, Head Office of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI).
The trio were arrested in an intelligence-driven operation after they demanded a gratification amounting to R300 000 from a local businessman in exchange for the awarding of a tender, which was advertised by the Madibeng Local Municipality during November 2025.
The Hawks spokesperson, Colonel Katlego Mogale said it is alleged that the complainant was contacted by one of the suspects inquiring if the businessman was interested in being assisted to secure a tender. Mogale said subsequently, the trio is reported to have arranged a meeting with the businessman, wherein they discussed the amount to exchange hands.
“The law abiding businessman then reported the matter to the Serious Corruption Investigation who in turn obtained the necessary documents to set up an operation.
“The case against the trio was postponed to 15 December 2025, for further investigation,” she said.
