## Resource

A Limpopo councillor got arrested after allegedly trying to bribe an SIU investigator with 70,000 rand to cover up corruption tied to two municipal tenders from 2015 and 2016. The SIU set up an entrapment, catching him handing over 10,000 rand in cash during a meeting. He reportedly targeted three investigators before the sting, with one rejecting him outright. Now facing serious corruption charges, he appeared in court as the SIU sends a clear message: no one gets away with interfering with their probes.
