Police spokeswoman Colonel Katlego Mogale said the allegations in the matter relate to money laundering, fraud and theft that took place at the South African State Theatre and was reported on 4 November 2018.
"It's alleged that two employees from SAST siphoned money for their own personal gain as they flouted the Supply Chain processes.
"The two employees allegedly utilised letter heads of existing companies to create invoices without the knowledge of the actual companies but changed the banking details to those belonging to the suspects' relatives, resulting in the total amount stolen of R24 million," she said.
