New proof ahead of the high court suggests that ANC Limpopo treasurer basic Danny Msiza presumably physically benefited through the wide-scale looting of VBS Mutual Bank, despite their denials

Msiza presumably received more he and his wife are directors, from a middleman who facilitated multimillion-rand unlawful deposits from municipalities into VBS, Kabelo Matsepe than r1.5m paid to a company of which.

Matsepe’s business Moshate, additionally presumably assisted in servicing a bond that is r9.5m provided to Msiza’s business for the Polokwane home under dubious circumstances by VBS.

Msiza had been identified in a explosive report by advocate Terry Motau, SC, en titled the truly amazing bank heist’ , as a kingpin whom facilitated through their governmental influence the ‘investments’ by Limpopo municipalities in VBS bank, totalling vast sums of rands.

VBS ended up being placed directly under curatorship in March this year, which generated lots of the municipality’s deposits being ‘frozen’. These municipalities are actually dealing with ruin that is financial could be placed directly under management because they battle to get over the depletion of these coffers.

The officials that are municipal paid ‘commissions’ or bribes to facilitate the opportunities, that have been used to connect money gaps into the bank’s publications.

Now – despite their persuasive speech example outline denials – evidence had been presented in brand new court documents to show that Msiza really benefited from looted VBS cash.

Motau ended up being mandated, as well as Werksmans Attorneys, by the Prudential Authority (formerly the Registrar of Banking institutions) to analyze findings by the curator, Anoosh Rooplal, that the lender have been driven into a situation of economic difficulty through massive fraudulence.

Motau discovered that significantly more than R2bn was stolen.

Backfired

Msiza, that has been fighting for their life that is political in months, filed a court application in October trying to challenge Motau’s report plus in specific, for paragraphs regarding the are accountable to be “expunged/deleted”.

It now seems that their court application has backfired.

Motau’s responding documents, that have been offered on Tuesday, have actually revealed the evidence that motivated their conclusions and findings that Msiza played a essential part in the VBS looting scheme.

Motau had been just needed to supply the court together with known reasons for including facts and testimony emanating from their research that dealt with Msiza.

Motau annexed WhatsApp messages between Msiza and Kabelo Matsepe, whom Motau described their report as being a fixer that is politically connectedwho became a really well-remunerated middleman and acted as a gatekeeper between VBS as well as the municipalities”.

He additionally offered the court with transcripts of interviews he carried out with different VBS roleplayers.

“The documentary proof demonstrates that the applicant has benefited significantly from Kabelo Matsepe to his relationship and their business, Moshate Investments,” Motau’s papers read.

Moshate Investments had received R27m between 2015 and March 2018 december.

As a swap, Matsepe would ‘introduce’ municipalities to VBS and “if the municipality invests”, Matsepe would make a commission – paid from various slush investment reports operated by VBS’ bulk shareholder Vele Investments.

Matsepe, the ANCYL that is former leader Limpopo, confirmed he received the commission re re payments, but denied that there is anything illegal afoot.

Your house VBS bought

Motau now highlights how a relationship for R9.5m ended up being registered with VBS into the title of Mojovax – an organization of which Msiza along with his spouse would be the single directors.

Mojovax joined right into a deed of purchase to obtain the Polokwane home in 2016 december. In January 2017, Msiza forwarded the deed of purchase to CEO that is former of, Andile Ramavhunga.

Ramavhunga forwarded it to another VBS worker and claimed: ” Could you please get ready for this? it is extremely essential that individuals are diligent about any of it. It is for the Limpopo treasury TG.”

” No appropriate application had been created for the home loan center,” Motau’s court papers read. “the only real record of a credit card applicatoin will be present in an incomplete kind.”

The shape, which Motau connected, indicated that Msiza’s business Mojovax had been the applicant but no more details had been supplied, no assessment that is financial carried out in the business, no supporting paperwork to show the replacement values and market worth of the house were supplied and many parts had been kept blank.

“not surprisingly, it really is clear that Mojovax had been provided home financing loan center of R9.5m,” Motau states.

By might 19, 2017, the transfer associated with Polokwane home ended up being carried out in favor of VBS as well as on May 31, 2017 – following the relationship account was created internally – the r9.5m this is certainly full premium to two law offices in respect associated with the purchase.

It absolutely was merely as much as Msiza to maintain together with his repayments that are monthly.

But, with what is actually nearly the norm for politically people that are connected secure loan facilities through VBS under debateable circumstances, he did not.

Rather, sporadic re payments had been produced from Matsepe’s business, Moshate – utilizing money Moshate received for assisting the illegal municipal opportunities.

Motau connected evidence showing that, between July 11, 2017 and March 29, 2018, Moshate (Matsepe) compensated R716 000 into Mojovax’s (Msiza’s) bond account with VBS.

A r1.315m this is certainly further paid from an unknown Standard bank-account – in four parts – March 20, might 8, July 4 and July 13, 2018.

“there’s been no further repayment to the Mojovax relationship account since 13 July 2018,” Motau states.

Motau additionally detailed just just how Matsepe’s Moshate received a R500 000 re payment from VBS the time before he, in turn, paid R200 000 into Mojovax’s relationship account.

In addition, Motau unveiled from bank statements which he obtained of Moshate’s records, that Msiza’s business (Mojovax) was compensated R1.5m on January 17, 2018 by Matsepe – each day after VBS paid R2m to their business, Moshate.
