@tiktoknewssa8: Businessman Mpho Edward Malema was arrested by the Political Killings Task Team (PKTT) at a Pretoria shopping mall on Thursday, 3 September 2026. He is facing charges of fraud, theft, and corruption stemming from a R16 million "ghost fleet" tender scandal involving the Emfuleni Local Municipality. Key Details of the Scandal The Tender: Malema and his company, Maboela Forestry and Construction CC, were awarded a multi-million rand contract to supply 18 municipal vehicles—including trucks, bakkies, and graders—to the Emfuleni Municipality. The "Ghost Fleet": Investigators allege that while the municipality paid nearly the full R16 million, only seven vehicles were actually delivered, leaving 11 completely unaccounted for. Whistleblower Connection: The contract irregularities were originally flagged by Martha Mani Rantsofu, a municipal accountant who was tragically shot dead in Vanderbijlpark in March 2026. Because of the suspected ties between the tender corruption and her murder, the investigation was spearheaded by the Political Killings Task Team. Legal Proceedings & Other Arrests Malema is the second high-profile individual caught up in this specific probe. In July 2026, the municipality's former fleet manager, Lerato Mpholo, was arrested in connection with the fraudulent contract and was later released on R25,000 bail
