Tokyo Sexwale lays criminal charges over âstolenâ funds
Share
Pretoria - ANC veteran and businessman Tokyo Sexwale has stuck to his guns over the alleged theft of billions of rand in donor funds from the South African Reserve Bank (Sarb) and has since laid criminal charges.
Despite denials by Finance Minister Tito Mboweni and Sarb governor Lesetja Kganyago, Sexwale yesterday insisted that the WSB Heritage Funds existed and were funnelled out of the central bank, through 18 banks, for the benefit of prominent and powerful individuals, whose names he could not disclose for fear of jeopadising the criminal investigation.
Sexwale, who described the Sarb as a âcrime sceneâ, told the media in Johannesburg that the matter was being probed by the Directorate for Priority Crimes Investigation (DPCI), also known as the Hawks.

Two years after TechCentral broke the news that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was investigating a dodgy licensing deal involving Microsoft and EOH at the South African department of defence, EOH has agreed to pay back the money.
EOH will cough up R41.7-million for overcharging for Microsoft licences by its EOH Mthombo subsidiary, the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) said in a series of tweets on Wednesday evening. It said the contract was âirregularâ and found that EOH overcharged the defence department between 2016 and 2017.
