A senior Hawks official accused of attempting to influence a police officer investigating an alleged corruption case against a councillor in Limpopo has been released on R10,000 bail.
Brig Motajane Mapome, 54, from Pretoria, appeared in the Bela-Bela magistrate's court facing a charge of corruption.
“It is alleged that in January 2022, the accused came to Bela-Bela and offered a promotion to a police colonel and also offered to assist him to obtain tenders in exchange for him (police official) destroying evidence in a case of tender corruption which he was investigating,” said Limpopo National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson Mashudu Malabi-Dzhangi.
The case was postponed to March 26 for further investigation.
