The former SAA Board Chairperson Dudu Myeni has been arrested.

Spokesperson for the National Prosecuting Authority's Investigative Directorate Sindisiwe Seboka says Myeni and former Sondolo IT Director, Trevor Mathenjwa were arrested on Friday on charges of corruption and fraud of over R300 000.

She says the pair appeared in the Richards Bay Magistrates Court in KwaZulu Natal where they were each granted bail of R10 000.

Seboka says during Myeni's tenure as chairperson of the SAA, she had a legal duty to disclose her interests in terms of the SAA Conflict of Interest Policy, which the State believes she failed to do.

She says Myeni was offered and received gratification from BOSASA and its subsidiary, Sondolo IT.

Myeni is accused of having received security upgrades for her Richards Bay premises from May 2014 to March 2015, to the value of R200k.

She is further accused of benefiting from hotel accommodation and travel expenses for her and persons close to her, from BOSASA, facilitated by Blake Travels, between May 2014 and March 2015 for over R107k.

Both accused will be back in court on the 17th of November.

In May 2020, Myeni was declared a delinquent director for life by a Gauteng High Court.
