He demanded the R10 000 after claiming that the motorist’s licence disc was fraudulent, Hawks spokesperson Captain Simphiwe Mhlongo said on Thursday.
“The complainant reported the matter to Hawks members from [the] Durban Serious Corruption Investigation [team] and an undercover operation was conducted on 3 March 2022. He was arrested at his place of employment and charged for corruption,” Mhlongo added.
He appeared in court several times before he was convicted and sentenced, Mhlongo said.
The court sentenced him to four years in prison but half of it must be served under correctional supervision.
