Two Msunduzi workers arrested for fuel theft
Msunduzi Municipality says it's probing the extent of fuel theft involving municipal officials.
Two employees were arrested during a sting operation on Friday.
The City says the pair were tracked to Edendale, where they were caught unloading a municipal truck full of jerry cans oil into a van.
Officials said the two employees would lawfully acquire the fuel every Friday under the pretence of distributing it to locations that need refuelling to continue providing services.
