Media Statement GAUTENG – Prince Dube (41) was arrested by the Hawks’ Serious Corruption Investigation on 05 April 2024 outside the WesBank offices in Fairlands, Johannesburg for alleged corruption. On Wednesday, 03 April 2024, a complaint was received from the WesBank Forensic Investigation team about a Zimbabwean national who owns a company Intsukuzonke Motors contracted by WesBank to fix government fleet cars. An audit of all its service providers was conducted by WesBank where it was discovered that the identity document of the accused had been deleted by the Department of Home Affairs (DHA). When contacted by the forensic investigation team for clarity with regards to the status of his identity document, the accused offered the investigators at WesBank R60 000 gratification in hopes that the investigation against him would not proceed.
