On Friday a senior planner at the Land Claims office was arrested following allegations that he had accepted bribes from beneficiaries. Andile Ntsume (42) appeared at the Cape Town magistrate’s court on charges of corruption. This after internal auditors noticed irregularities in Ntsume’s files. It is alleged that Ntsume received payments by beneficiaries, many of which came from the agricultural industry.
Cape Town police spokesperson Captain Randal Stoffels says that the details surrounding the case are still under investigation.
“He appeared in the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court on Monday and was released on bail of R5000. The case has been postponed for further investigation until February 2009,” said Stoffels.
