Opposition party Congress of the People opened a case of corruption and money laundering against David Mahlobo at the Lyttelton police station in Centurion, Pretoria, on Monday. | JKwritingz
The party cited the latest state capture report which revealed that Mahlobo was a key cog in misappropriating taxpayer money, later used to maintain the state capture status quo.
Cope deputy president Willie Madisha said the final Zondo Commission report had identified Mahlobo as a"key cog in the state capture project". The latest State Capture Inquiry report found that, under Mahlobo, dodgy state security officials had free rein, and ran rogue operations. Madisha said, given the severity of the findings, his party would be pushing for the charges to be given urgent attention.He added that, as an MP, he would also be approaching National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula to request that all implicated parties be suspended pending an ad hoc committee investigation.
