In Ace Magashule's last days as Free State premier, one of his sons – and his corruption-accused PA's cousin – were inexplicably given multimillion-rand Free State government bursaries to study at a US university, a draft forensic report has revealed.
And, just days after Magashule's former PA Moroadi Cholota sought to downplay any suggestion that his office was improperly seeking funding from the province's alleged asbestos scam service providers at the state capture inquiry in December 2019, that report also records that her own R1.2 million bursary to study in the US was signed off by the Free State government.
The report, which was compiled by FTI Consulting for the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), was one of several documents submitted by the NPA to the United States government, as part of its attempt to extradite Cholota to South Africa to face trial for fraud and corruption in the Free State High Court in Bloemfontein.
