The grants were for the empowerment of women, youth, and disabled people living in the villages of the Bojanala District in the northwest.
In its judgment, the special tribunal, which presides over matters brought by the special investigating unit, found that the grant money was not used for its intended purposes.
“The tribunal further found former NLC board member, advocate William Elias Huma, his affiliated entities, and the beneficiary organisations caused the NLC to suffer damages in the amount of R21,158,118.00, citing egregious misconduct, negligence, dishonesty, and violations of fiduciary duties,” said Special Investigating Unit (SIU) spokesperson, Kaizer Kganyago.
The respondents are ordered to repay in full R 21,158.118.00. The SIU has already commenced the process to execute the order and recover the full amount from the respondents. The process is ongoing.”
