SIU busts pastor for defrauding AgriSeta

“The SIU investigation revealed the following: Upon receiving the R1.9m funding, Mokoteli and Dywili concluded a Memorandum of Understanding between Business Against Crime and Northern Cape Empowerment Academy led by Dipalemo, knowing very well that the academy existed only on paper.

“Mokotedi submitted to AgriSeta a close-up report on behalf of Dipalemo knowing very well that Dipalemo did not render any training. Fifty learners were [allegedly] trained and received certificates of competency in food operation. Kganyago said Dywili did not disclose to AgriSeta that R600,000 of the funding had not been spent – which was in violation of the terms of the agreement.

“Madiba allegedly awarded the tender without the required decision by the board of directors of AgriSeta, therefore, in contravention of the Public Finance Management Act.”A Bloemfontein pastor had to pay back R1.9m to AgriSeta after he defrauded the entity by claiming funding for a nonexistent joint venture. A joint statement by the SIU and the NPA said Mokoteli pleaded guilty to two counts of fraud and two counts of money laundering and agreed to pay back the money.
