After three failed bail applications, Van Reenen finally walked out of court on bail - only to be arrested moments later by investigators waiting outside.
Janitha van Reenen, 25, had barely walked out of the Vanderbijlpark Magistrate’s Court after securing bail when she was re-arrested outside the court in connection with an alleged R9.9 million electricity scam involving the embattled Emfuleni Local Municipality.
She was arrested on Thursday, September 3.
Van Reenen’s latest arrest came shortly after she appeared in court in a separate fraud case involving the same municipality.
According to reports, Van Reenen was granted bail by the Johannesburg High Court last Monday after three unsuccessful attempts to secure her release at the Vanderbijlpark Magistrate’s Court.
