The bribery case against Pinnacle executive director Takalani Tshivhase has been postponed until June.

Tshivhase appeared in court yesterday (24 April), and the case was postponed to 2 June 2014.

Tshivhase is alleged to have offered a lieutenant-general of the South African Police Service R5-million in January last year to secure a technology contract.

When the news broke last month, Pinnacle issued a statement regarding its confidence Tshivhase.

“Mr Tshivhase denies all allegations of attempted bribery, and will defend the charges,” it stated. “From the evidence thus far available to the company, the company is satisfied that there is no reason to doubt the veracity of Mr Tshivhase’s denial of the allegations.”
