The chief justice slammed disgraced former Free State agricultural MEC Mosebenzi Zwane and called for criminal charges to be laid against former Free State agricultural department head Peter Thabethe for his involvement in the Vrede dairy project.

Funds from the project, which was meant to uplift poor farmers, went towards Gupta family's Sun City weddingPeter Thabethe, former head of the department of agriculture in the Free State, in court in Bloemfontein in 2021. File photo.

Zondo made the comments and findings against Zwane and Thabethe in his final report which he handed over to President Cyril Ramaphosa on Wednesday night in Pretoria. Zondo was scathing of the R37m project, which was designed and marketed as a means to develop indigent Free State farmers but saw a portion of the funds being used to sponsor the Gupta family’s lavish wedding in Sun City.

Zondo made the comments and findings against Zwane and Thabethe in his final report which he handed over to President Cyril Ramaphosa on Wednesday night in Pretoria.“The project failed in its first two years of operation, not because of the media enquiries or the National Treasury investigation, as suggested by Thabethe, but because of Thabethe’s incompetence or because he was carrying out the agenda of the Guptas and cared less about the taxpayers’ money and the black farmers.

“Apart from anything else, Thabethe must be held both criminally and civilly liable for his role in causing the department to lose millions of rand in taxpayers' money,” said Zondo.
