The high court has denied MTN access to financial records in the case against its former executive Robert Madzonga and lawyer Nozuko Nxusani, who are accused of defrauding the telecoms company of R12.3 million over a decade ago. | News24_Business

In 2010, while at MTN, Madzonga was accused of authorising Nxusani's firm to do work for the telecoms firm, and arranging payment of R12.3 million despite"knowing very well that they did not render the services that they were contracted to deliver," according to the Hawks. MTN conducted an internal investigation, and the matter was reported to the Hawks seven years later.

A warrant of arrest was issued for Madzonga and Nxusani in December last year and both handed themselves over to the authorities. They were subsequently released on R10 000 bail each.Advocate Terry Motau found in his report on the looting of over R2 billion from VBS that Madzonga denied knowledge of anything untoward,"he derived very large rewards, much of which was in the form of undeclared income".

Madzonga was previously arrested, along with a range of other accused for the VBS matter, and was released on bail in 2021. In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.
