The wife of one of the men charged for the R2.5billion VBS Mutual Bank heist has revealed how one of the country's biggest financial scandals has come back to haunt her family.
“It's critically important that my husband is released on bail as he needs to be admitted to Vista Clinic His psychological condition has not been good over the last few weeks,” Cornelia said. Cornelia also painted a picture of how the scandal had broken their family since Truter was sequestrated in November 2018, saying she was the sole breadwinner for the couple's three minor children, and they had to survive on what she described as her meagre R12009 monthly salary after deductions.
The family said they also survived through donations from their church, which gave them food parcels. Cornelia further said hallucinations and fears of a mental breakdown haunting her husband had driven his desire to come clean.
