Three high ranking Kwa-Zulu-Natal civil servants and five Cape Town businessmen were arrested yesterday during a corruption raid by the Hawks.

The men allegedly defrauded government off an estimated of more than R8 million.

The five businessmen secured tenders with the Department of Health in KZN for the supply of water purification for use in provincial hospitals.

The men have since been released on bail. Gaston Savoi who allegedly was the master mind was released on R200, 000 bail while the others were released on R50, 000 bail.

The businessmen have been ordered by the court to surrender their passports and not interfere with the investigations.
