Public Works minister to address IDT bribery scandal

JOHANNESBURG - Public Works Minister Dean Macpherson is expected to address bribery claims against Independent Development Trust CEO, Tebogo Malaka.

It comes after a Daily Maverick expose by investigative journalist Pieter-Louis Myburgh.

Malaka was filmed offering R60,000 to kill an investigative story into corruption at the IDT.

The Daily Maverick has been investigating an IDT contract and its links to one of Malaka’s upmarket properties.

Malaka was suspended after a forensic investigation into an oxygen plant tender worth over R800-million.
