Mamphela Ramphele has been mentioned\u00a0a fraud scandal involving the alleged disappearance of almost R13 million from AgangSA coffers.<\/p>\n
Police yesterday confirmed that a fraud case was being investigated.<\/p>\n
The investigation was launched after a mystery bank account was discovered by a party official.<\/p>\n
Police spokesman Brigadier Neville Malila said a party member discovered the “irregularity” after trying to open an account at the Nedbank branch in Centurion, near Pretoria, on Friday.<\/p>\n
“The official discovered an account had already been opened in his name and that of Dr Ramphele,” said Malila.<\/p>\n
Neither Ramphele nor AgangSA spokesman responded to repeated calls or messages.<\/p>\n
AgangSA’s national executive council is to hold a special meeting tomorrow , including provincial representatives, to discuss the matter.<\/p>\n
Included in the money feared stolen is R65845 paid by the Independent Electoral Commission to AgangSA for the two parliamentary seats the party won in the May 7 election.<\/p>\n
Also feared stolen is the R1.3-million the party owed the SA Revenue Service, and about R10-million it owes to service providers.<\/p>\n
Other funds also appear to be missing, bringing the total amount not accounted for to nearly R13-million.<\/p>\n
A party insider claimed someone in Cape Town had forged signatures.<\/p>\n
“One would expect the national executive council to take a decision on whom the signatories on the account would be, but this never happened,” said Donald Tontsi, AgangSA’s Gauteng spokesman<\/p>\n
“What is surprising is that, after announcing she was taking time off from politics following a gruelling election campaign, we now find Ramphele is a signatory on the account.<\/p>\n
“‘Not only that, but one of the co-signer’s signature has apparently been forged.”<\/p>\n
