JOHANNESBURG - The National Prosecuting Authority has secured a final court order forfeiting R100,000 linked to corruption at Tembisa Hospital.
The money was seized in November 2025 after former hospital official Zacharia Tshisele and police sergeant Papi Blonde Tsie allegedly offered it to an investigating officer to avoid arrest.
The attempted bribe was reported, leading to an undercover operation in which police arrested the two men.

The money will go to the Criminal Assets Recovery Account.
The criminal case against the two accused returns to the Pretoria Magistrates' Court on 10 November.
