The City of Cape Town’s offices were also searched on Thursday.
Western Cape police have confirmed a major escalation in an ongoing corruption investigation linked to a former City of Cape Town contractor, executing multiple search and seizure warrants across the metro on Thursday.
The South African Police Service (SAPS) Commercial Crime Investigation Unit conducted the raids at a municipal office and several residential properties, including the home of a City of Cape Town mayoral committee (Mayco) member, municipal employees, and private individuals.
This probe centers on Triple C Maintenance Services, a former municipal contractor. The City of Cape Town cancelled all contracts with the company following a sting operation where the owner allegedly attempted to bribe the City Manager.
The provincial police spokesperson, Colonel Andrè Traut, said the operation yielded significant potential evidence.
