It follows a sting operation that led to the arrest of the owner of the company after he allegedly handed over a substantial amount of cash to the City Manager as inducement.&#8221; says Traut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capetown.gov.za\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.capetown.gov.za\/\">City of Cape Town<\/a>, the city manager worked with SAPS in the sting operation that resulted in the arrest of the owner of the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;During the staged encounter, the suspect allegedly handed the City Manager R1.4 million in cash. The payment was purportedly offered as a bribe in exchange for assistance in retaining the vendor\u2019s contracts with the City,&#8221; says a City spokesperson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-city-and-saps-conducting-joint-investigation\">City and SAPS conducting joint investigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The ongoing investigation is being conducted jointly by the South African Police Service (SAPS) the City of Cape Town\u2019s ethics and forensics department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The progress made thus far reinforces the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in uncovering and addressing complex collusive fraud and corruption schemes involving both public officials and private individuals,&#8221; says Traut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No arrests were effected during the operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;As the investigation remains active, SAPS will not comment further on specific evidential aspects of the matter at this stage. Further action will be guided by the evidence gathered and the outcome of ongoing investigations,&#8221; says Traut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The City further stated that it is supporting the ongoing police investigation in the matter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The Mayor has not received any indication from SAPS that the search and seizure relates to wrongdoing of the Mayco member directly, rather than ongoing evidence building for the trial of the contractor and others,&#8221; says the City spokesperson. &#8220;The investigation also extends beyond the municipal sphere, with search and seizure operations conducted on several external parties.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The City further took decisive action to terminate all contracts held by the contractor in question, Triple C Maintenance and Services. Contingency measures were put in place for continuity of service on this contract work, including road maintenance, resurfacing and stormwater infrastructure.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Police conducted search and seizure operations as part of an ongoing investigation involving a former
