Nombembe's assets to go under hammer

Assets belonging to late ANC Youth League provincial leader, businessman and Mnquma Municipality's R10-million black plastic bag scandal accused, Sive Nombembe, are set to go under the hammer on Thursday.

Nombembe’s assets, which includes two houses, will be auctioned in Butterworth in an effort to recoup some of the taxpayers’ monies lost in the alleged Mnquma Municipality’s R10-million black refuse bags tender fraud.

These assets that includes rollback trucks, trailers and a Ford Ranger XLT double cab bakkie were some of those attached by the National Director of Public Prosecution as a result of Nombembe's alleged involvement in the R10-million  scandal.

Nombembe, who died last September after a horrific car crash, was facing fraud and corruption charges relating to the multimillion-rand black plastic bags tender issued out by Mnquma Municipality in 2015, when he tragically died.

Former Mnquma municipal manager Sindile Tantsi, who also died in an unrelated car crash in KwaZulu-Natal earlier last year, was also implicated in the alleged fraud, together with ANC Amathole regional secretary Teris Ntuthu and another Mnquma official, Zanele Mbewu.
