According to The Citizen, Myeni was facing corruption and fraud charges related to R300,000 in alleged bribes from Bosasa and its subsidiary, Sondolo IT.
She had missed court proceedings in May due to chemotherapy and the case’s transfer to Gauteng, the reort said.
Myeni and co-accused Trevor Mathenjwa, both out on bail, were expected to return to court in November.
The state accused Myeni of not disclosing her interests per SAA’s Conflict of Interest Policy and receiving security upgrades worth R200,000 for her home.
