Msomi, who was arrested on Saturday in Durban by the Hawks' serious commercial crime investigation unit, was remanded in custody.According to sources, police pounced on him following a tip-off on his whereabouts.Hawks spokesperson Lloyd Ramovha said in a statement:"Msomi was arrested this past weekend in Durban following a probe into R8m that was allegedly stolen from the , trust account early this year.
The disappearance of the funds was discovered earlier this year, and a case was opened at the Bramley police station in Johannesburg. Before the funds disappeared, Msomi allegedly confided in one of the legends about his financial woes. Acting chairperson of LLLP, Letta Mbulu, said the money disappeared the same afternoon it was deposited on September 18 2018.The 76-year-old Msomi is world-renowned for writing and directing theatre play Umabatha, that produced stars like Thembi Mtshali-Jones.It was staged in 2016 by the University of Pretoria.
For a person to have financial woes that need R8m then such a person shouls have been robbing Peter to pay Paul for a long time. Hopefully these young famous artist/sportstars can & will learn a thing or two from this else history may repeat itself sooner
Mzansi corruption is disappointing, none can be trusted.
