Baartman Weer in Hof Oor R79.9m Bedrog aangestel.Die volgende hofdatum is vir 5 September, geskeduleer.

die hof te verskyn. AfriForum se voorsitter, op Springbok, Sarel Stone het gesê:

Baartman(ook lid van SAFA nasionaal en EFF-leier in die Noord-Kaap) en sy medebeskuldigdes, die egpaar, Zihaadt en Maralise Cloete, van Matjieskloof, Springbok, staan tereg op die bedrogklagtes.

“Ons is verheug dat die saak kan voortgaan. Maar ook bly dat daar nog sake bygevoeg kan word. Of ander beskuldigdes betrokke kan raak."

Tydens Baartman se termyn as munisipale bestuurder by die Nama Khoi munisipaliteit(NKM) op Springbok, het die Cloeteegpaar 'n maatskappy gestig.

Hulle was die alleen-direkteure van die konstruksie-maatskappy, MPG Construction.

Aubrey Baartman (EFF Leier in N. Kaap) Nou staan 'n allemintige R79.9 milj of moontlike tronkstraf tussen Nevie Aubrey Baartman en sy mede-beskuldigdes.

Dinsdag se hofverrigtinge was vinnig omdat die staat uitstel gevra het. Die staat het aangedui dat daar nog nuwe klagtes bygevoeg kan word. En dat ander beskuldigdes ook

moontlik betrek kan word, volgens Nonthandazo Mnisi, die Valke se woordvoerder.

Tydens Dinsdagoggend se verrigtinge het die beskuldigdes se regsverteenwoordiger, Duncan Britz, hom van die saak onttrek, weens onbekende redes. Hulle het intussen 'n ander regsverteenwoordiger

Volgen hom maal die wiel van geregtigheid nou stadig, maar verseker tot voordeel van die plaaslike gemeenskappe wat oor lang tye hierdeur benadeel was.

"Ek glo dat daar nog heelwat sake uit die een sal voortspruit.

Dié saak wys net watter mate van ongerymdhede onder ons neuse plaasgevind het, sonder dat ons daarvan bewus was."

In 2013 het die maatskappy vermoedelik onregmatig 'n tender van R79.9milj bekom, volgens Mnisi. Die staat voer aan dat dié maatskappy toe nie aan die nodige tendervereistes voldoen het nie. Blykbaar was die erkende verkryginsprosesse ook verontagsaam. Dit is ook wydbekend dat Baartman goed bevriend is met die Cloete's.

Hieroor het die speaker, Rodney Kritzinger, gesê dat die Valke nou gerus 'n bietjie laer kan vlieg.

Die AfriForum-tak op Springbok was die klaers in die saak. Eers in June 2021 was die drie, asook die maatskappy, MPG Construction, gedagvaar om in

Intussen gons inwoners op Springbok nadat die Valke onlangs weer laag oor die NKM “gesweef ” het.

SA Young Scientists To Compete In World’s Largest

Pre-college Science Competition In The USA Seven of South Africa’s finest young scientists will travel to Atlanta, Georgia in the USA to represent the country at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) and the Broadcom Masters International Programme from 7 13 May 2022. Learners will showcase their scientific brilliance following their achievements in the 2021 Virtual Eskom Expo International Science Fair.

the Eskom Expo panel felt that Chaylin was an excellent candidate.

Chaylin’s project aimed to compare two solar water heaters, mostly made from recycled materials - one with an aluminium can and the other with a steel can - to determine which can heat water the fastest. With the extension of the project, a silicone bottle and glass jar were added to determine whether these materials would allow water The selected projects that are entered in the competition, range to heat faster. It was found that aluminium cans allowed water to from research into the aerodynamics of Formula 1 cars, be heated the fastest.

VANZYLSRUS – ‘n Vergete Gemeenskap In Rykste Provinsie In sy onlangse Provinsiale Staatsrede het die Premier, Dr Zamani Saul ‘n positiewe, maar fiktiewe prentjie geskets van die ekonomiese groei in die Noord-Kaap en hoe die Provinsie onder sy administrasie floreer. Besoek jy egter Vanzylsrus, sowat 100km vanaf grootskaalse mynbou bedrywighede is dit duidelik dat die tyd vir hierdie vergete gemeenskap gaan stilstaan het.

Tydens ‘n onlangse besoek in Vanzylsrus deur die UNDRIP1652-NK-Provinsiale Uitvoerende Bestuur van die United Nations on Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People (UNDRIP) as deel van ‘n bekendstellingsveldtog was die fokus op die erkenning en herlewing van die inheemse bevolking in Suid-Afrika asook die ekonomiese groei en voortbestaan van hierdie gemeenskap waar die blanke deel van die dorp spog met plaveistrate, maar geen OTM’s of banke, geen tekens van

ekonomiese vooruitgang en slegs die enkele gastehuise in wit besit wat voordeel trek uit gereelde toeriste wat na die dorp stroom. Die enigste tekens van vooruitgang in die bruin woonbuurt is ‘n kunsmatige grasgroen sportveld en die skool as enigste baken van hoop, afgerond met stofstrate tussen HOP-huisies en skewe draadheinings waarop mense se wasgoed hang met geen tekens van mynverwante werksdrag in die wasgoed nie.

UNDRIP se besoek aan Vanzylsrus was warm ontvang deur ‘n vergete gemeenskap waar jongmense se potensiaal in die asvaal stofstrate verlore raak. "Baie moet gedoen word sodat die gemeenskap van Vanzylsrus die werklike ekonomiese impak van mynbou in die area ervaar," vertel vernon Mostert, provinsiale voorsitter van UNDRIP. - Edward Smit Vernon Mostert is die provinsiale voorsitter van UNDRIP in die Noord-Kaap.

Daar is egter maniere om dit te verhoed. Een van my persoonlike gunstelinge kom uit die draaiboekwêreld en staan bekend as in media res, oftewel arriveer laat en waai vroeg. Die ander belangrike tegniek om te oorweeg, is Hemingway se ysberg-teorie.

Arriveer laat?

Wanneer jou storie in die middel van die gebeure begin, het jy die leser se aandag. Daar is geen lang, vervelige inleiding en verduideliking nie en die eksposisie word deel van die stygende aksie.

Waai vroeg?

Moenie die einde van die toneel holrug ry nie. Los die leser met ‘n vraag of twee wat later beantwoord word. Sodoende hou jy jou leser se aandag.

Let wel: literêre fiksie wat op atmosfeer fokus, sal nie by hierdie tegniek baat nie.

Die ysberg-teorie?

Met ‘n ysberg kan ‘n mens slegs die deel bokant die water sien. Jy weet egter van die deel onder die water, selfs al kan jy dit nie sien nie. Skrywers moet hulle karakters se hele agtergrond ken, maar moenie die leser daarmee bombardeer nie. Sekere dinge word gesuggereer of geïmpliseer (die deel onder die water) en wanneer jy inligting bietjiesbietjies aan jou leser bekendmaak, hou jy die leser se aandag.

Voorbeeld: In Sindikaat weet die leser dat Paul Rudman op onwettige goedere afgekom het.

Wat presies hierdie smokkelgoed behels, word (met rede) eers aan die einde van die boek bekendgemaak.

Lekker skryf!

The Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (or MPRDA) says that the mineral resources of the country are the common heritage of all who live here. The state’s role is to oversee how these resources are used and make sure that this benefits everyone. This means that it is up to the state, especially the Department of Mineral Resources, to manage mining rights.

company can be made informally, but these requests are often unsuccessful. You also have the option of once again using the Promotion of Access to Information Act and completing a form requesting information held by a private body. Once you have access to the SLP of the mine in your community, you can critically engage with the content of the plan.

What if a mine does not comply with its commitments?

Once you begin the process of recording the mine’s SLP compliance, you may realise that the promises the company has made have not been delivered.

You can get further evidence by requesting access to the company’s annual report. If you think the mine is not complying with its legal obligations, you can approach the Department of Mineral Resources to report the mining company.

The promises a mining company makes in its social and labour plan are legally binding. If the mine does not comply with the SLP, then the DMR can suspend or even cancel their mining right.

Conclusion As we have seen, the law now requires that mining companies develop social and labour plans to benefit communities as part of any application for mining rights.

Despite having these laws in place, the SLP system has so far largely failed to deliver on its promises. Most communities impacted by mining have experienced only the negative impacts on their environment and received none of the benefits.

The voices of mining communities and workers are often ignored where they should be central to the SLP system for it to work well.- Source: Centre for Applied Legal Studies

South Africa Weighing Ban On Scrap Metal

Exports To Curb Infrastructure Theft competition is working on the issue, he said.

BusinessLive said that freight rail operator Transnet, telecom operator Telkom and power utility Eskom estimate that thieves and vandals cost them a total of R7bn a year, with the knock-on damage to the economy amounting to about R187bn annually.

Pravin Gordhan, South Africa’s minister of public enterprises, said the export of scrap metal ought to be halted for a period in order to stop criminal raids on infrastructure that is encouraged by the market.

“It is my firm view that the export of scrap must be banned for a while. That will ensure that there is no market externally for the theft of infrastructure,” BusinessLive quoted Gordhan to have said during an economics cluster question-and-answer session in parliament on Wednesday.

“The sooner we have a strong set of measures, I believe it will begin to change the face of theft of infrastructure as well,” the minister said. The department of trade, industry &

Speaking in the same session, trade, industry and competition minister, Ebrahim Patel said government had commissioned research on measures that could be taken.

“Proposals range from a complete ban on exports to controlled sales in the domestic market, and a licensing regime for merchants. These have to be evaluated.

Once cabinet has reflected on that, we can come back with a final plan,” Patel said.

According to the Budget Review tabled in parliament in February, making it mandatory for all metal traders to get licences and prevent them from dealing in cash — so there is a paper trail — could be a key step in combating theft and the illegal trade in cables. - Mining Mx

R31 Outside KimberleyRoad Collapsing Due To Sewage Flooding THE DA is sceptical whether the planned city-wide water interruption this weekend will do much to improve the flooding problem on the R31 and N12, where overflowing water and sewage is starting to submerge sections of the roads.

The edges of the Roodepan road leading up to the R31 are also starting to disintegrate, where vehicles have been diverted while the R31 is closed to traffic.

The city will be without any water from May 12 to 15 while repairs are done on the 965-millimetre water pipeline near Gogga pump station, as well as behind 3SAI military base, and the 600-millimetre pipeline near the Roodepan take-off.

According to Sol Plaatje Municipality, it will address leakages along the R31 and N12.

During an oversight visit on Tuesday, Member of Parliament and DA spokesperson on Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Cilliers Brink stated that 64 percent of water losses were attributed to the flooded areas.

“This has been caused by almost two decades worth of a lack of municipal infrastructure maintenance,” said Brink.

“Since 2004, unattended sewage leaks from the Gogga pump station, combined with freshwater leaks from the Riverton mainline, were allowed to slowly fill up four pans alongside the R31, crossing the road and engulfing it from either side. It is also affecting the Platfontein community.”

Brink added that the R32 million project to broaden and lift the affected portion of the road did nothing to prevent the unfolding crisis.

“Lifting the road by 1.5 metres is only a temporary solution as the water is rising at a rate of 40 millimetres per day.

“Further attempts to lower water levels by digging a trench to divert the water to another dry pan further along the R31 will be futile, as this pan will also eventually fill up and

flood the road.

“While the Department of Roads and Public Works continues to pursue this project, with additional costs due to the emergency measures, there are concerns about the sustainability of the multimillion-rand attempt to save the R31.”

Brink said that short-lived attempts to repair water leaks only resulted in exposing deteriorating infrastructure.

“Private business, mines, provincial and national Treasury should be approached to assist in funding the repairs. Qualified civil engineers must be hired to do the job.”

DA MP Delmaine Christians believed that the N12 road could suffer a similar fate if water leaks were not attended to as a matter of urgency.

“Once again, the provincial government is well aware of this looming threat that has already

resulted in the stopping of trains due to water flowing below the road channel,” said Christians.

“A mixture of sewage and freshwater is threatening to place this national road in the same position as the flooded R31.”

She added that she had approached Deputy President David Mabuza to oversee the repairs of the R31 and to provide time frames as to when work will be completed.

“I will request him to accompany me on oversight visits to the R31 and other looming road disasters.

We have also asked the select committee on cooperative governance and traditional affairs to summon the MEC for Cooperative Governance, Human Development and Traditional Affairs (Coghsta), Bentley Vass, to appear before them. ”I have also questioned the R500 million that was spent on road infrastructure and potholes in the

Province.”

Christians said she had also lodged a complaint for investigation by the Green Scorpions to test the quality of the water.

“R25 million was spent previously on failed attempts to repair the Gogga pump station.”

Sol Plaatje Municipality spokesperson Thoko Riet said that a contractor would be responsible for the work that would be carried out during the water shutdown this weekend.

“Everything is on track. Our teams will also be on-site,” said Riet.

She pointed out that an assessment would be done after all repairs were completed.

“We cannot guarantee that there will not be a drop left along the affected roads, although it should improve the situation.”-dfa

Department of Water and Sanitation hosts faecal sludge management workshop in Upington Northern Cape The Department of Water and Sanitation will on Thursday host a faecal sludge management workshop with all Northern Cape water and sanitation stakeholders.

The workshop will be held in the Dawid Kruiper Local Municipality in Upington.

The department in a statement said it had made strides in developing the National Faecal Sludge Management Strategy (NFSMS) for non-sewer sanitation systems, the National Sanitation Integrated Plan (NSIP) and the National Sanitation Framework (NSF).

"The consultative workshop will be a platform to share and solicit inputs from all stakeholders in the Northern Cape to further advance the framework.

"As a result of disparities and inequity in access to sanitation services, the unintended consequences of sewer spillages and other sanitation challenges, the NFSMS, NSF and NSIP will be geared to implement radical changes in the water and sanitation sector," it said.

The department said some of the issues under scrutiny are sanitation norms and standards that needed to be revised and tailored to address faecal sludge removal, dignity, especially of women, the elderly and the girl child.

Four Missing in Fish River Canyon

Bladsy 31 Four South African tourists have gone missing in Namibia's Fish River Canyon, one of the world's largest canyons, Namibia's stateowned tourism company reported Monday.

They were part of a group of ten South African tourists who sent out a distress call on Saturday when they could not find their way out of the canyon, prompting a helicopter and ground search-and-rescue operation.

Six managed to get out on their own, but four remained missing by Monday afternoon in the canyon 600 kilometres (370 miles) south of the capital Windhoek, Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR)'s spokesperson, Nelson Ashipala, said.

The NWR "is aware of the four tourists that have been reported missing in the Fish River Canyon," he said.

Biggest Hurdle Are Regulations About Obedience or Our Health ???

Consultation with the public over new health regulations has been extended until 5 July.

Deputy Health Minister, Sibongiseni Dhlomo, says in the meantime, pupils must still wear masks at school as Covid-19 numbers continue to rise, and experts say the fifth COVID-19 wave is upon us.

"We have extended this period of consultation and comment on regulations up to 5 July but there were three specific regulations that we want to champion earlier, ahead of the rest," he said.

"The wearing of masks - actually there was a challenge and mistake, we still insist on the wearing of the masks in school, high school, and primary school as we insist on the wearing of the mask in any close confinement."

"Number two: it was the issue of gathering, we want to make sure that gatherings are at this number, 1,000 indoor and 2,000 outdoor and if you want to have 50% of the venue, 6,000 auditorium in church and half of that when people are wearing masks, the third one is with regards to travellers..."

Wildeklawer Makes History With Mass Schools Sports Event ABSA WILDEKLAWER SPORT 2022: 4 MEI 2022 Sport bring hóóp, die land staan op en daar is weer iets om na uit te sien.

Die Absa Wildeklawer-sporttoernooi het Maandag tot 'n einde geloop. 'n Week van opwinding is in 'n oogwink verby. Maande se beplanning, oefening en vasberadenheid van spelers het vrugte afgewerp.

Absa het vanjaar betrokke geraak by dié wêreldklas-toernooi en so ook die Motshepe Foundation, wat dit moontlik gemaak het dat sokker by die skole netbal- en rugbyaanbiedinge gevoeg word.

Louis de Kock, besturende direkteur van Wildeklawer, sê die toernooi het ongelooflike goeie rugby opgelewer. "Ek was baie verbaas dat ons skole na so 'n lang tyd wat hulle nie gespeel het nie, súlke rugby kon oplewer. Die toernooi gaan oor uitmuntendheid en ek dink ons het daarin geslaag.

"Ons kon ook sien dit gaan goed met ons kinders, dit gaan goed met ons skole, die sport is gesond."

Uitbreiding na sokker De Kock sê die uitbreiding na sokker het 'n baie groot waarde-toevoeging tot die toernooi gebring. "Die Motsepe Foundation het dit vir ons moontlik gemaak om sokker by te voeg, wat een van die hoofsportsoorte in Suid-Afrika is. Ons is baie opgewonde dat die stigting reeds bevestig het die sokkerdeelname moet volgende jaar verdubbel."

De Kock sê Absa se bydrae het dit moontlik gemaak dat die toernooi kon uitbrei en vanjaar was die grootste toernooi nog. "Met die ekstra fondse kon die standaard en uitmuntendheid slegs verbeter."

wat die toernooi gehuisves het, het hulleself oortref as 'n fantastiese gasheer, met stalletjies, vermaak, die Pom Pommeisies se optredes en dan ook 'n BBPtent van Absa.

Duisende mense besoek toernooi Daar is ongeveer 8 000 mense per dag deur die hekke. Altesaam 10 200 pizzas, 2 500 sosaties, 1 500 worsrolletjies, 3 900 koffies, 4 700 hamburgers, 3 200 chip sticks, 3 900 ham- en kaastoebroodjies en 22 000 koeldranke is verkoop.

Die ambassadeurs vir die toernooi was Victor Matfield en Dumisani Chauke, met keurders soos Marius Schoeman, SA 7's se hoëprestasiebestuurder en Sticks.

Chauke was veral opgewonde oor die gees by die netbal en sê sy het baie opkomende sterre gesien. "Dit gee jou die geleentheid om raakgesien te word, deur hier netbal te speel. Dit wys jou ook dat jy groot hoogtes kan bereik."

Stonie Steenkamp, Absa besturende hoof: streeksdekking, Sentraal SuidAfrika, sê dié toernooi gee nie net hoop vir leerlinge nie, maar ook vir ons land.

"Die volwassenes wat die toernooi bygewoon het, het hóóp hier ervaar.

Daarom is dit vir Absa so belangrik om deel te wees vanuit 'n gemeenskapsoogpunt."

Leerlinge betrokke by sosialemedia platforms Jana Grobbelaar, mediabestuurder van die toernooi, sê die webtuiste het sy meeste besoeke nog ooit gehad, met die 100 000-merk wat oorgesteek is.

"Vanjaar het ons ekstra platforms bygebring, soos TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn en dan natuurlik Facebook.

Ons wou vanjaar die leerlinge betrek en het dit reggekry deur ander platforms te gebruik. Die TikTok- en Instagram-rekeninge het binne 'n week meer as 1 000 volgelinge gekry, met video's wat oor die 22 000 keer gekyk is. Dit was lekker om te sien hoe skole betrokke raak. Dit was 'n reuse-sukses."

Sport gee uiting aan passie vir sport Cassie Carstens, toernooibestuurder, sê hy bedank Absa, Wildeklawer, elke skool, elke leerling en elke werknemer en kollega vir die harde werk. "Ons is dankbaar vir almal se positiewe terugvoer en ons sien daarna uit om julle volgende jaar weer by ons te sien. Die terugvoer wat ek van die skole gekry het, was ontsettend positief. Die toernooi het net op die regte tyd gekom sodat die leerlinge weer die passie van die sport kon ervaar. Dit was aansteeklik. Die Motsepe Foundation se afrigters het gesê hoe die leerlinge nuwe vriendskappe gesmee het van die veld af. Krag teen krag het teen mekaar gespeel. Dit was aanskoulike sport. Covid het definitief 'n impak gehad daarop dat die leerlinge geesdriftig deelgeneem het en uiting gegee het aan hulle lus vir sport."

"Verder wil ek dankie sê aan die media, dis die beste blootstelling wat die toernooi nog ooit gehad het.

Dankie aan Dottry Media en FiND iT. Die uitsendings van Super Sport Schools was 'n groot pluspunt. Die

oproepe wat ek ontvang het van mense buite Kimberley, het gesê dit voel of almal vanuit die hele land deel was van die toernooi. Dit word toegeskryf aan die media wat minuut-vir-minuut blootstelling gegee het en die uitsendings deur Super Sport Schools."

Die rugbyspeler van die toernooi is Janeil Losper, van Paarl Gimnasium. Hy ontvang 'n R50 000 se geskenkbewys van We Buy Cars om sy eerste voertuig te koop. Renezia Andrews, van Paarl Girls' High, was die netbalspeler van die toernooi.

Die borge wat bygedra het tot die sukses sluit in natuurlik Absa, Wildeklawer, Vermeulens, Starke Ayres, Kynoch, Agrico, Ricoh – Docuware, MH Office, Nugen, Gilbert, Ramble, Beefmaster, Bevco, XCO, Motsepe Foundation, Mercedes – New Vaal, Sol Plaatje Munisipaliteit, Northern Cape Tourism Authority, Cell C, Huawei.

ANC’s (N Cape) Manganese ‘gold’ Mine With Sanctioned Russian Oligarch divestment at this stage.”

Chancellor House was identified as an ANC front in 2005 when it was rapidly striking deals in the mining and energy sectors, sometimes under questionable circumstances. Today it no longer makes any secret of its role. The sole shareholder of the company is the Chancellor House Trust and the ANC is a beneficiary of this trust.

What has escaped notice is the evidently enormous importance of UMK in the scheme of things.

The scale of dividends revealed in the financial statements of Nami indicates that the ANC is unlikely to have any comparable dependable source of cash.

Massive cash flows from a joint venture with sanctioned Russian oligarch Viktor Vekselberg could overwhelmingly shape the ruling party’s financial fortunes. The scale of the party’s reliance on this single asset may begin to explain the ANC’s fawning position on Russia.

These increasingly severe actions are a demonstration of what may befall other Vekselberg assets.

South Africa’s recent moves towards a more transparent political funding regime have already shown how Chancellor House and UMK fund the ANC. In April last year, the Political Party Funding Act (PPFA) came into effect. This act created the (voluntary) quarterly disclosure of funders by political parties.

In the first three quarterly reports produced by the Electoral Commission (IEC), it was The balance of 51% in UMK is revealed that Chancellor House owned by Majestic Silver had donated R15-million to the Trading 40 (MST) which is a ANC.

“Mr Vekselberg is the only shareholder defined as a Specially Designated National (SDN) under current US, EU and UK sanctions. He does not own any direct interest in UMK and is an economic beneficiary of a trust that owns less than 25% of UMK. His personal sanctions, therefore, do not affect UMK’s operations. Except for Mr Vekselberg, none of the other beneficial owners of MST Batho Batho donated R15million to the ANC too, but given and NAMI has been defined as SDNs or is subject to sanctions the triple donation from by the US, EU, or UK.” Chancellor House, UMK and MST, the manganese mine is The full shareholding structure arguably the largest single of Nami is, however, an opaque source of declared funding for and shifting knot, reflecting the governing party. efforts to avoid the sanctions.

This makes the safety of the mine from US sanctions crucial, Nami owns 49% of UMK.

The ANC did not respond to a request for comment.

The party has other large benefactors, including Batho Batho, a trust with ANC roots that owns 46% of Thebe Investment, which in turn has minority stakes in Shell’s downstream operations in South Africa as well as Seriti, a major coal supplier to Eskom.

this is the only exposure Vekselberg has to UMK. “UMK has never been majority owned or controlled by Renova, and Nami itself is not controlled

by Renova since restructuring in 2018,” said Mokoena.

Cyprus documents show that a reconfiguration of Nami’s shareholding only came about in February 2020. It resulted in the Cyprus company being 48.8% owned by Vekselberg – precisely what is necessary to avoid sanctions at that level.

Two other Cypriot shareholders, ABC Grandeservus and Tromata Consultants, now own 36% and 15%, respectively.

Grandeservus is an opaque corporate administrator that holds assets for clients. It has in the past allegedly held other assets on behalf of Vekselberg, according to a 2019 ruling by the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court in the British Virgin Islands.

This would, however, contradict Mokoena’s answers to amaBhungane around the ownership of MMC. Asked about other shareholders behind Nami, Mokoena said: “We, unfortunately, are unable to disclose further information as this is private and confidential.”

There is one particularly mysterious entity that made a temporary appearance in the share registry of Nami.

In 2014, MMC sold 5% of Nami, which holds half of UMK, to an otherwise opaque company called Sentelo Investments for $1.

In 2016, MMC bought back the same shares for $2.7-million or just over R40-million at the time.

The transaction makes little sense other than to transfer cash to Sentelo. According to company records, Sentelo at the time had Grandeservus as The shareholding of Tromata is its shareholder, holding shares on behalf of unknown parties. unknown.
