Two former Bosasa officials appeared in court for attempting to bribe a Department of Correctional Services official.
Former Bosasa fleet manager, Frans Vorster, and former accountant, Carlos Bonafacio, appeared briefly in the Pretoria Specialised Crimes Court on a charge of corruption on Thursday.
Bonafacio also faces an additional charge of money laundering.
The National Prosecuting Authority's Sindisiwe Seboka said Vorster and Bonafacio are accused of facilitating a bribe of R180 000 to former Department of Correctional Services' chief financial officer, Patrick Gillingham.
Gillingham was part of the department's bid adjudication committee, which awarded contracts valued at over R1 billion to Bosasa, Seboka said.
"The two acted in common purpose with former Bosasa chief operating officer, Angelo Agrizzi, by paying R180 000 to a Roodepoort car dealership in April 2007 as a deposit for the purchase of a Mercedes Benz, valued at R550 000, for the benefit of Gillingham."
The case was postponed to 24 June.
