South African Local Government Association financial manager Carol Mpapele appeared briefly in the Pretoria Magistrate's Court on two charges of corruption and was released on bail of R15 000, police said.
Inspector Gideon Thessner said the charges related to an alleged request by Mpapele to contractors supplying computers to the association to inflate their invoices so he could pocket the difference.
He was still being held at the Pretoria Central police cells late on Tuesday following his failure to come up with the bail posted. He will appear in court again on August 13.
