The Divisional Manager of the Transport Inspectorate at the Roads Authority, Richard Milinga, and Grant Cloete, Managing Director of Sasco Africa, were each granted bail of N$30,000 following their appearance in the Windhoek Magistrate’s Court. 

Sasco Africa provides industrial and commercial weighing solutions across South Africa, Namibia, Swaziland, Mozambique, Kenya and East Africa.

The two men are suspects in an ongoing corruption investigation by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).

The case involves allegations of fraudulent certification and misuse of government property.

According to the ACC, an invoice worth over N$2.3 million was allegedly certified for the supply of a weighbridge that was never delivered. In addition, an old weighbridge was improperly removed from the Roads Authority premises and installed at a private company, Etango Petroleum, without official permission.

As part of the investigation, the ACC recently seized assets worth more than N$2 million. The case has been postponed until August 1.

The ACC said it is also looking into possible charges of fraud, theft, and money laundering.
