“I don’t have any relationship with that Vrede farm. I don’t know where it is, I don’t have a company that deals with it. Parliament would have punished me, it’s just a sorry that people are trying to deal with you they will come up with anything, ” says Maphatsoe.
On Saturday the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said it has seized the Gupta-linked Estina diary farm in Vrede in the Free State in a bid to recoup up to R1.6-billion in looted funds.
The NPA said Atul Gupta’s personal bank account will also be frozen. It said he had received proceeds of crime in cash.
