NPA TAKES A DECISION NOT TO PROSECUTE FIKILE MBALULA
The NPA has taken a decision not to prosecute Mr. Fikile Mbalula. This is in relation to the Public Protector’s report released on 19 December 2019, that the NPA should look into the allegation that Sedgars Sports funded the Mbalula family holiday to Dubai between December 2016 and January 2017, when he was the Minister of Sports Arts and Culture. The referral from the Public Protector, was to investigate whether the trip was proceeds of money laundering, with the view to prosecute anyone who may have been involved in criminal activities.
A police docket was registered at Brooklyn police station, CAS 158/08/2019.
After police investigations, guided by the prosecutors in the Pretoria SCCU office, and the DPP office, a decision to decline to prosecute anyone in this matter was taken, as there is no evidence supporting allegations of criminal activity.
