A former Transnet legal head and two managers from a rail maintenance company appeared in the Johannesburg specialised crime court sitting at Palm Ridge magistrate's court on Wednesday.

The trio, who are charged with corruption and money laundering, appeared briefly after handing themselves over for arrest early on Wednesday morning.

“After completing work for the tender awarded to Polyzomba worth R64m and with the contract expired, Polyzomba laid a dispute for work they’d done but were not paid for. The value of that dispute was R25m,” said NPA Gauteng spokesperson Phindi Mjondwana.
