NPA shows 'serious concern' as Mandela funeral fraud case withdrawn

Makeke confirmed that the acting director of public prosecutions in the Eastern Cape, Indhrambal Goberdan, had provisionally withdrawn charges against all accused at the East London Magistrate’s Court in respect of the following matters:“These charges are all related to funds that were allegedly fraudulently diverted from the Buffalo City municipality budget meant for former president Nelson Mandela’s funeral,” she said.

Makeke said Goberdan came to the decision to provisionally withdraw the case as she does not anticipate that the cases will be ready to proceed on the scheduled dates of next appearance, which are May 13, 17 and 30.Mkolo is the suspended ANC Dr WB Rubusana regional chairperson and a controversial figure. His co-accused include four other senior provincial ANC politicians: Sindiswa Gomba, Zukiswa Ncitha, Themba Tinta and Luleka Simon-Ndzele.

The case against businesspeople Nosiphiwo Mati, Zintle Nkuhlu, Viwe Vazi and Dean Fanoe, as well as Buffalo City senior officials Vincent Pillay and Ondela Mahlangu, is also being withdrawn.

Someone is not doing their job!! There is absolutely no excuse that such high profile case wasn't placed on high priority. We can not have these corrupt people back in Leadership because of this. Guys be serious fok!!!
