Ace Magashule's former PA extradited from the United States
Ace Magashule's former PA, Moroadi Cholota, is being extradited from the US to South Africa on Thursday.
Former Free State premier Ace Magashule's ex-PA is expected to land in Johannesburg on Thursday afternoon after she was extradited from the United States. However, instead of the affected houses being safely rid of asbestos at a reasonable price, the State says businessman Edwin Sodi and his 15 co-accused embarked on a"rent-seeking" scheme that ultimately resulted in only R21 million worth of the work being done.
It was then that the NPA decided to charge her as the 17th accused in the asbestos tender corruption case and apply for her extradition.Cholota's legal team argued that she was charged with multiple counts of fraud, corruption and money laundering"primarily due to her refusal in questioning as a State witness, to attribute specific actions to Mr Ace Magashule, and not because she was implicated or had committed those crimes".
The State's case is that Magashule's alleged take for these continued payments came in the form of school tuition for his former classmate and former acting Judge Refiloe Mokoena's daughter, electronic tablets, and R250 000 for the travel expenses of an ANC delegation to Cuba.
