Failure to be accountable is finally starting to mean something in South Africa. This week someone well known in fishing circles was arrested and appeared in the Bellville Commercial Crimes Court. She was charged with failing to report fraud she was aware of. It is not the first time this same person has been in the news this year.
Former Deputy Director General: Fisheries Management in the (then) Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Siphokazi Ndudane, is charged with two counts of contravention of Section 34 of the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act 12 of 2004 (PRECCA).
Ndudane was granted bail of R100 000, ordered to surrender all her passports, and told to provide the investigating officer with documentary proof of her residential address.
