WESTERN CAPE - The General Manager of the Premier Soccer League (PSL) and former International Referee aged 57 and his wife (47) are to appear at the Bellville Magistrate Court this morning, 5th May 2025 on charges of fraud and money laundering related to millions of rands for a project in the Eastern Cape. It is reported that the suspects allegedly misrepresented PetroSA that Gangatha Junior Secondary School (JSS) required infrastructure funding. They submitted proposals supported by forged trust deeds and donor documentation, creating a false impression that Gangatha Projects, a non-registered entity, was a legitimate channel for school development. PetroSA, relying on these presentations, paid R13 million to Gangatha JSS. The trust deed associated with King’s Gangatha Building Trust was not registered and the signatures were allegedly falsified. The Gangatha Projects bank account, controlled by the suspect, received approximately R13 million. The scheme was executed through the submission of falsified documents, creation of fictitious or unregistered entities, and subsequent laundering of the proceeds through personal accounts. Ends
