The EFF slammed the SARB for narrowing its investigation.
“We have a situation where thousands of US dollars have entered into the country and there seems to be no accountability anywhere,” Manyi said.Manyi said it was alarming that the Reserve Bank did not seem to be concerned that the money was kept at the farm beyond the 30 days required for its declaration.
“A criminal case was opened in relation to this matter so you would have obviously law enforcement agencies who are investigating and I think on their part they would have a broader scope to look at other things if there are criminal activities,” Skosana said.United Democratic Movement MP Nqabayomzi Kwankwa said he believed that the SARB was “insulting our intelligence”.
He said the fact that a case was not opened immediately after the money was stolen, as found by the public protector, pointed to a cover-up.
