The Mpumalanga woman who accused deputy president David Mabuza of plotting to kill conservationist Fred Daniel is being investigated for money-laundering
The woman, who was allegedly also found in possession of house robbery equipment when she was arrested by the Hawks earlier last month, appeared in the Nelspruit regional court on Wednesday to apply for bail.
Investigating officer Lieutenant-Colonel Peter Mhlongo opposed bail, telling the court that the accused, Nomfundo Sambo,32, is also facing other charges including a case of money-laundering. According to Mhlongo about R700,000 had been deposited and withdrawn from Sambo’s account. He noted that Sambo only earns R2,500.
Sambo caused a storm last year when she claimed to have witnessed deputy president's diary bearing a plan to murder Daniels. In an affidavit in which Sambo called herself Thandeka Mabuza, a niece to the deputy president, alleged that while helping at Mabuza’s house in Johannesburg on November 5 2018, she stumbled on his diary that detailed a plot to assassinate Daniel, a Mpumalanga-based conservationist.
Mabuza and Daniel have a history of public spat which led to Daniel seeking a court order stopping Mabuza from interfering in his businesses.
