No love lost in the bundu
The transactions were discovered during an inspection by the partner, who engaged the Hawks for an investigation that linked the couple to the missing loot
A couple who were arrested last week for allegedly defrauding their newly bought multimillion-rand lodge in Mpumalanga have downplayed the criminal charges as a sustained racist and malicious campaign to kick them out of the business.
Sikhumbuzo Tshabalala, 41 and his wife Ntombizodwa, 32, bought a 67.7% stake in eBundu Lodge – situated between Mbombela and White River – for R32 million in 2017. The lodge’s founder, Willem Janson, acclaimed businessperson Reuel Khoza and Wayne Blake collectively hold the remaining 32.3%.
