SIU to probe R4,3m spent on Zuma rave

Social Development Minister Edna Molewa has asked the Special Investigation Unit (SIU) to probe the release of R4,3-million to a KwaZulu-Natal businessman who gave a lavish pre-election party for President Jacob Zuma.

It was reported a month ago that the SA Social Security Agency (Sassa) had approved the release of funds to Durban businessman Mabheleni Ntuli, who sponsored the party held for the ANC president before the elections.

Ntuli allegedly received R2,5m from the agency for the party and a further R1,8m to buy food parcels for villagers in KwaNxamalala, Zuma's birthplace in KwaZulu-Natal.
