A day after the arrest of suspended Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EMPD) deputy chief Julius Mkhwanazi, another senior official within the city has been arrested.
Police confirmed the arrest of the 40-year-old suspect on Sunday in Johannesburg.
He, like Mkhwanazi, faces charges of fraud, corruption, and defeating and/or obstructing the ends of justice.
“These arrests emanate from an ongoing investigation into corruption within the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality,” police said.
Both men will appear before the Boksburg Magistrate’s Court on Monday.
The Citizen understands that police have tried to initiate several arrests this weekend, with other officials linked to the city being traced.
