MK Party’s Chief Whip, Mmabatho Nthabiseng Mokoena-Zondi, has been arrested and charged with fraud and has been granted R30 000 bail.
The Directorate of Priority Crime Investigation (the Hawks) confirmed that the Chief Whip is alleged to have defrauded members of approximately R233 317.99.
Warrant Officer Zinzi Hani of the Hawks said she had allegedly recruited four individuals into the party as researchers and then apparently demanded payment under the pretence it was for legal costs of the President of the party.
