He further claimed that he was made a scapegoat in the matter.<\/p>\n<p>Mohlaloga conceded that he received money from the grant, but also alleged it was a loan.<\/p>\n<p>The court found the accused abused their respective positions and abused the system.<\/p>\n<p>The judgment read:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Such conduct cannot be countenanced. There is no redeeming quality found in their actions or conduct.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The fact that the farm was eventually purchased with part of the Land Bank funds also did not assist them \u2013 because it was done as a &#8220;last grasp (sic)&#8221; to divert attention from their conduct and the land was never really intended to benefit the community.<\/p>\n<p><b>Crime <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Nearing the end of 2007, a scheme was hatched to illegally apply for a grant from the AgriBEE fund, established by the agriculture department, to bring previously disadvantaged and emerging farmers, especially women and youth, into the commercial farming sphere.<\/p>\n<p>Both Mohlaloga, who was an MP and the chairperson of the portfolio committee on agriculture, and Land Bank boss Mohlahlane could not apply for the loan, so they got Mohlaloga&#8217;s ANC youth league friends to front it.<\/p>\n<p>After the application was submitted, Mohlahlane put pressure on an employee to approve the grant, despite the correct process not being followed, as well as missing paperwork.<\/p>\n<p>After the payment was made, the accused spent the money, but eventually bought a farm in Limpopo, with no intent to use the land for job creation and upliftment.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, according to the judgment, Mohlaloga used R866 150 to buy two BMWs, and a further R2.8 million was transferred to his family trust.<\/p>\n<p>R2.2 million was eventually used to buy a farm, which stayed vacant, but the land was rented out to a local farmer for R1 000 a month for grazing.<\/p>\n<p><b>Conviction and sentencing<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Mohlahlane, who was found guilty of fraud, was sentenced to an effective seven years&#8217; imprisonment, while Mohlaloga was found guilty of both fraud and money laundering, and sentenced to 20 years&#8217; imprisonment.<\/p>\n<p>Nkwashu was sentenced to 24 years in prison, as well as a fine of R50 000 conditionally suspended for five years.<\/p>\n<p>News24 reported that all three men were granted bail after their sentencing, pending the outcome of the appeal.<\/p>\n<p>Mohlaloga was appointed to the previous Icasa board in 2013, despite the fraud allegations.<\/p>\n<p>He has served as acting chairperson of the Icasa board since 2017, and was sacked after his conviction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
