A parliamentary committee paid two-day visit to Limpopo, but people who lost thousands of rands in life savings when VBS Mutual Bank collapsed last year were allegedly fearful that speaking out against the looters in public could lead to them being killed

The portfolio committee on cooperative governance and traditional affairs paid a two-day visit to Limpopo to seek answers regarding decisions by municipalities to invest more than R2 billion of public funds in the VBS Mutual Bank.

But Maine Matamba Mamuremi, a representative from the Association of Traditional Healers, said Vhembe residents were now fearful and no longer felt safe, following the killing of people who had spoken out against VBS corruption. As you can see from the low attendance in this chamber, it is because people are afraid of being killed. That is the reason they did not come here

Last week the committee summoned the Makhado, Greater Giyani, Collins Chabane, Vhembe District and Mopani, five of eight Limpopo municipalities which accounted for over 70% of losses suffered as a result of the VBS collapse.

Africa's news leader.Community leaders in the Vhembe district in Limpopo, are concerned that there has not been any arrest related to the looting and collapse of the now liquidated VBS Mutual Bank. South Africans are concerned about the lack of arrests related to Steinhoff. Can we call this the reality of a lawful but lawless society?😢 Sorry,most will never see prison cells because they are connected to the ruling party, and those from municipalities who knew it was against the law to invest with VBS will be celebrated by being deployed elsewhere
