Public protector finds that money that was meant to celebrate the struggle icon was used to benefit senior politicians
about the contentious relationship between Bam, the Mbizana municipality, Madikizela and Mabuyane, in which Bentleys and home renovations were the order of the day from money received by Bam.
The probe found that private businesses, including taxi associations, “improperly benefitted” from the public funds, and senior officials did not leave themselves out of the ill-gotten loot. Madikizela himself benefitted to the tune of R350 000 through payments into the account of a company owned by his wife, Zona Zetu Siyazithanda Madikizela, while the provincial ANC scored R280 000.
