The R47 million fraud and corruption case related to the procurement of goods and services for KwaZulu-Natal police during the 2010 World Cup has been postponed in the Durban High Court.<\/P>

<\/P>

National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) Investigative Directorate spokesperson Sindisiwe Seboka said the postponement is to allow the state to \u201cprovide further particulars\u201d to the ten accused in the case.<\/P>

<\/P>

Seboka said the NPA is expected to oppose an application by one of the accused, Toshan Panday, to have his bail conditions relaxed.<\/P>

<\/P>

“That matter will be heard by a separate judge on a date still to be determined. The state will bring a counter application for the cancellation of his bail,” Seboka said.<\/P>

<\/P>

Panday, together with close family members and some members of the police are accused of colluding to funnel tenders to companies associated with him in exchange for gratifications.<\/P>

<\/P>

\u201cPanday\u2019s family is accused of being party to a common purpose with Toshan and other to defraud SAPS through their association with entities which were used to score lucrative contracts from SAPS.<\/P>

<\/P>

\u201cThe policemen in this matter face accusations of colluding with Panday to receive contracts from KZN police. The group faces charges of racketeering, fraud, corruption and money laundering,\u201d Seboka said.<\/P>
