What about the politicians themselves. Did they fire them cos they didn't get a share.

I hope they are also being prosecuted. Knowing of a criminal offence and not informing the police is a crime in itself. Firing them isn't the solution. Get our money back and make an example of them so that others think twice about doing this

"Both officials were on suspension for irregularities related to the awarding of the Koster-Lichtenburg road construction tender"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But how can you hire a person who was suspended for previous irregular activities, person who hired them must be fired as well
