Top Umkhonto weSizwe Military Veterans' Association (MKMVA) officials are alleged to have turned investment holdings into their own personal piggy bank
A forensic report alleged that the funds were used to pay for jewellery, spa treatments and school drama lessons, with large sums withdrawn before Christmas, the Mail&Guardian reported.
The draft investigation report by SizweNtsalubaGobodo named four officials.
They allegedly took R5.4 million, almost half of the money coming into two accounts that the auditors scrutinised.
A group of former soldiers from exile known as the "commissariat" have laid criminal charges against the four. There is also a court application to freeze the MKVA investment accounts and trusts.

Corruption has become the SAfrican way of life under the Zuma administration. When the president is a morally compromised person, it sets the tone for the ethos of the country.Report Abuse

There is room for a newspaper called "Corruption Times". No shortage of news under new ANC. The future generations are going to curse us as looters - not liberators. After all what is Mugabe famous for now.Report Abuse

Papage: What makes you think they will accept you in Australia? they dont even like the Land-lords (Aborigines) over there. Something has to be done by the people about corruption in Mzansi. Just like here in the UK, corruption is so rife here but the Conservatives are very smart and the fact that the Establishment is corrupt, does not help. Its now all coming to the fore with Murdoch-gate, though. What is going to happen when the ANC joins the Free-masons (who are corrupt to the core)? Mzansians need to do something about this before the country becomes bankrupt. Oh, Papage, dont call us monkeys, we survived 450 years of colonial and racist oppression, we can take you on as well.Report Abuse
