His appearance relates to payments he allegedly received from Black Balance Projects, a service provider to iLembe district municipality. Enterprise iLembe is the economic development agency for the municipality.
“It is alleged that between February 2011 and February 2012, Manci received an amount of R2.2m from Black Balance Projects in return for a R12m tender contract awarded to them,” said National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson Natasha Ramkisson-Kara.
“The monies were paid to his company, K2S Consulting.”
