JUSTICE MINISTER HAD DISBURSED E1.3 MILLION - ACC

Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font

MBABANE – The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) alleges that it discovered that a portion of the money that was found in Justice Minister Sibusiso Shongwe’s business bank account had been disbursed.


The commission alleged that it discovered that a sum of E1.3 million was utilised by the minister, who was the sole signatory, to make payments to different entities.


On Monday, the commission filed an application seeking an order that a warrant of arrest be issued against Minister Shongwe, after he allegedly failed to disclose the source of E2 million that was found in his law firm’s trust account.


The application was, however, dismissed by Chief Justice (CJ) Michael Ramodibedi, who said the application was misconceived.
In dismissing the application, the CJ further stated that an arrest cannot be made against His Majesty’s sitting minister without proper clearance.
The application to have the minister arrested came after he allegedly declined to furnish ACC investigators with documents and information pertaining to the transaction and/or its source.


It was reported that the money was deposited into the minister’s business account in three different instalments in December last year; the first being E500 000, the second E500 000 and the last instalment was E1 million.


ACC investigator Sipho Mthethwa, in his affidavit, stated that the commission received information to the effect that the minister, through his company’s trust account, was in control of pecuniary resources to the tune of E2 million.
He submitted that on further investigation, they established that the funds were deposited in cash in the Republic of South Africa into the Swaziland’s First National Bank account.
