FORMER MINISTER of Minerals and Energy Mosebenzi Joseph Zwane, is expected to appear in the Bloemfontein Magistrates Court on Wednesday morning.
This was confirmed by National Prosecuting Authority.
He faces charges of being complicit in connection with the Vrede dairy farm scandal that lost millions, as a result of controversial and heavily Gvt connected Gupta’s family.
Zwane was an MEC for Agriculture at the time in the FS.
NPA’s Sindisiwe Seboka confirmed: “We can confirm that a former minister is ex-pected to appear at the Bloemfontein Magistrates Court. The accused is expected to appear on charges of fraud, theft as well as money laundering and corruption.
The appearance is scheduled to be at 9AM this morning,” says Seboka.
Already there have been a number of arrests in connection with the saga, which saw money being diverted away from the Vrede dairy project.
Currently Zwane is the chairperson of Portfolio Committee on Transport in Parliament.
