Former South African Airways (SAA) board chairperson, Dudu Myeni, and former Sondolo IT director, Trevor Mathenjwa, were granted R10 000 bail each in the Richards Bay magistrate’s court on Friday.

The pair will appear again in the same court on 17 November.

They were arrested on Friday on charges of corruption and fraud to the value of about R300 000 for alleged gratifications offered and received from state capture accused Bosasa and its subsidiary Sondolo IT.

Myeni presented herself to investigators after arrangements made with her lawyers.

The National Prosecuting Authority’s Investigative Directorate alleges that during Myeni’s tenure as chairperson she failed to disclose her interests under the SAA conflict of interest policy.

Myeni allegedly received security upgrades for her Richards Bay premises during May 2014 to March 2015 to the value of R200 000.

She is further accused of benefiting from hotel accommodation and travel expenses for her and people close to her from Bosasa, facilitated by Blake Travel between May 2014 and March 2015, to the value of more than R107 000.
