Six accused and two companies in a R25 million fraud and corruption case against the Free State Agriculture Department will learn whether they will be acquitted of the charges brought against them.

They have requested that all charges against them be dropped, claiming that the state has failed to prove a crime was committed or to link them to any wrongdoing.

The defence has argued that the case lacks authenticity and independence. It has poked holes into the state’s evidence, questioning how the state acquired its evidence. Hellens says, “There is no title of evidence that is linking the company island site and Ronica Ragavan to any such dealing between those parties.”
