JOHANNESBURG - High-profile former Transnet executives implicated in a corruption scandal are expected to appear before the Palm Ridge magistrate's court.
Brian Molefe and Siyabonga Gama have been taken into custody in the south of Johannesburg.
They are linked to a dodgy R93-million locomotive tender.
Reacting to this arrest, civil society watchdog, Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse and Accountability (OUTA) CEO, Wayne Duvenage, commended the arrest, saying it was long overdue.
He argues that there are cases within this case, and this is another development.
"This is long overdue. Hopefully, this time around with all the recent setbacks and cases being thrown out of court, we would expect that the investigative directorate has done their homework and have their ducks in a row and ensure that these cases are watertight," he said.
