The papers filed at the high court in Pietermaritzburg said Zuma had to pay back R7.3m on his bond or the liquidators would attach his property.

The curators of liquidated VBS Mutual Bank have set their sights on former president Jacob Zuma's homestead‚ according to court papers.

Zuma fell behind on the repayments for the first time in August 2018‚ when he was in arrears of R109‚568. A letter of demand was sent to Zuma."Subsequent to the delivery of the demand letter‚ the first defendant [Zuma] effected sporadic repayments‚ all of which were less than the agreed monthly instalments".

The court papers‚ filed by VBS Mutual Bank’s liquidator‚ Anoosh Rooplal‚ show that Zuma has until September 14 to file a notice to state whether or not he will defend the summons. Should he defend it‚ he would have 20 days after that to file responding papers.

Scorpio’s investigation into the bank statements of VBS-beneficiary and slush fund Mahuna Investments show how the life savings of the poor and vulnerable VBS-depositors, as well as municipalities around the country, were transformed into school-related expenses for Malema’s sons, and were used to pay for Gucci, Louis Vuitton and tailored suits from designer Linda Makhanya, the Polokwane party venue and the EFF. Scorpio can now reveal details of how at least R5.3m in VBS loot was siphoned off to Mahuna Investments, and how the bank card linked to this account followed Malema around the country, maintaining his personal lifestyle.
