A former Member of Parliament was one of three people arrested over the weekend in connection with a R4.8 million theft.
A senior official from Molemole Municipality was arrested on Friday in Polokwane in connection with the same case.
Captain Matimba Maluleke says the three also includes the former chairperson of the Makgatho Community Property Association and a bank employee.
He said the 70-year-old former chairperson was arrested at his home in Ga Makgatho village on Friday evening whilst the 51-year-old bank employee handed himself over to the Serious Commercial Crime Investigation team members in Polokwane on Saturday.
The former MP was arrested on Sunday morning at his home in Kanana village.
Maluleke said the case relates to the awarding of a farming tender to the wife of the senior municipal official without following due processes.
The four are due to appear in court on Monday.
