BusinessLive reports that deputy national police commissioner Lt-Gen Bonang Mgwenya, who is facing corruption and fraud charges in the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court, has been fired.
The police confirmed on Friday that Mgwenya had been sacked by national commissioner Gen Khehla Sithole. Mgwenya appeared in court last month after she was arrested by the Investigating Directorate on charges of corruption, fraud, theft and money laundering. The charges relate to her alleged involvement in the appointment of a handpicked service provider for the installation of emergency lights to 1,500 police vehicles in Gauteng. Mgwenya was suspended after her arrest. Police spokesperson Brig Vish Naidoo said an internal disciplinary hearing had found Mgwenya guilty and she was “summarily dismissed on Thursday”.
