Former transport minister Sbu Ndebele has told Business Day he will appear in the Specialised Commercial Crime Court on Thursday when his fraud, money laundering, bribery and corruption case starts. Ndebele resigned as SA’s high commissioner to Australia in October, following controversy surrounding his alleged involvement in the irregular extension of Tasima’s multimillion-rand contract to run the electronic national administration traffic information system (eNatis). Tasima and the transport department are involved in a separate protracted legal battle over eNatis. During an interview with Business Day on Monday, Ndebele said he would not discuss the merits of the case in the media or whether or not he had met with President Jacob Zuma to iron out a "political solution". Instead, he would let the matter get aired in court.
