Johannesburg â ANC veteran and businessman Tokyo Sexwale has ruffled feathers over allegations that some of the billions of rand he raised to fight Covid-19 and to assist poor students, had been stolen, and police were on a mission to recover the funds.
Sexwale made the revelations on the
eNCA Truth to Power talk show hosted by JJ Tabane on Sunday night when he detailed how he and a member of a prominent South African family raised billions.
