Richards Bay – The Richards Bay Magistrate’s Court has postponed the corruption case against ailing former board chairperson of South African Airways Dudu Myeni to 10 May 2024,
The court postponed the corruption case for it to be transferred to the Johannesburg High Court.
The matter was postponed in Myeni’s absence, as it was indicated by her attorney that she was hospitalised.
The attorney of Trevor Mathenjwa, who is accused number 2 in this matter, was also absent due to ill health.
Myeni and Mathenjwa are facing corruption and fraud charges linked to BOSASA, amounting to approximately R300 000.
This amount was allegedly offered and received as gratification from BOSASA and its subsidiary Sondolo IT.
The state accuses Myeni of failing to disclose her interests in terms of the South African Airways (SAA) Conflict of Interest Policy, during her tenure as the chairperson of the SAA board.
Myeni allegedly received gratification from BOSASA subsidiary Sondolo IT, offered by the former director, Trevor Mathenjwa.
Myeni allegedly received security upgrades for her Richards Bay premises during May 2014 and March 2015, to the value of about R200 000.
She is further accused of benefiting from hotel accommodation and travel expenses for her and persons close to her, from BOSASA, facilitated by Blake Travels, between May 2014 and March 2015, for over R107 000.
Investigating Directorate Spokesperson Henry Mamothame said both accused were out on R10 000 bail each, and they were expected to be back in court when the matter resumes in May.
