south africa: Flawed Court Records Delay Corruption Trail

The trial of two former Mpumalanga officials accused of accepting nearly R540 000 in kickbacks for irregularly approving a multi-million rand tender has been delayed for the fourth time because court recordings weren't finalised. The Nelspruit regional court postponed the trial of former environmental affairs department head Jabulani Mhlongo and administrative director Donald Hlatshwayo to June 18.
