Kamte was arrested by the East London based Serious Corruption Investigation team of the Hawks for allegations of fraud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hawks spokesperson Captain Yolisa Mgolodela said it is alleged that on December 1, 2014, the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) project manager submitted a request for construction of local offices at Kareedouw, Port St Johns, Mount Fletcher, Sterkspruit and Ntabankulu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA tender was later advertised where suppliers were invited to submit quotations. The supplier Max KMT Trading, as represented by its director Kamte, is alleged to have submitted quotations for the tender and was subsequently appointed to construct the walls of some of the offices,\u201d said Mgolodela. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She added that an invoice to the value of more than R490&nbsp;000 is reported to have been submitted by the supplier and payment was affected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was later established that the supplier was not registered with the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) even though the supplier submitted a CIDB certificate during the submission of tender documents,&nbsp;Mgolodela added.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe certificate was later found to be fraudulent. A case of fraud was reported to the East London based Serious Corruption Investigation team of the Hawks for probing, hence the arrest of Kamte on September 19, 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The case has been postponed until September 26 for a regional court date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-issued-by-hawks\"><strong>-ISSUED BY HAWKS<\/strong><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The East London Magistrate\u2019s Court has granted Max KMT Trading director, Thobile Maxwell Kamte R2 000 bail.
