A technician at a North West municipality was arrested after he allegedly offered to cancel a client’s R1 million municipal debt for R112 000.
According to North West Hawks spokesperson Captain Tlangelani Rikhotso, the 52-year-old man was arrested by the Hawks’ Serious Commercial Crime Investigation unit on Wednesday.
