Electoral Commission (IEC) Commissioner Dr Nomsa Masuku has been granted R20 000 bail by the Specialised Commercial Crimes Court sitting in the Palm Ridge Magistrates Court.
The 62-year-old was arrested earlier on Friday by the Hawks for fraud amounting to R1.2 Million.

Masuku also allegedly deposited some of the money into her personal bank account without the approval of the Trust’s committee.
The matter has been postponed to September 4.
