Deputy President David Mabuza’s office has dismissed allegations of his involvement in a R35 billion “land claims scam”. 💵 Corruption
Seedat argued that Outa’s complaint to the NPA was based on “false criminal charges” and criticised the organisation for attempting to discredit the deputy president “in order to further their own nefarious goals”.
“The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation [Hawks] and the Specialised Commercial Court prosecutors declined to prosecute anyone because of the false charges. Similarly, the allegations in this complaint are completely false and without merit,” she said. “In the current civil litigation brought by Mr Daniel, the deputy president is not even a respondent in his personal capacity. Records of the civil case are available for anyone to see how Mr. Daniel has been exposed for who he is.”Seedat further pointed out that Mabuza has repeatedly called on the relevant authorities to investigate him if hard evidence indeed implicated him in wrongdoing.
“On countless occasions, including before Parliament, the deputy president has maintained that if anyone has any evidence of wrongdoing on his part, they should bring the case to the attention of the appropriate law enforcement agencies. The deputy president stands by this statement and is not naive about the true motives of the complaint,” she continued.
