Speaker, yesterday I laid a charge against the head of the ANC's political school and former Chief Whip of this House, Tony Yengeni, who has allegedly breached the Companies Act.
Section 218 of the Act states that any person who has been convicted of corruption, shall be disqualified from acting as a director of a company, but Companies and Intellectual Properties Registration Office, Cipro, records indicate that, despite his corruption conviction, Mr Yengeni is a director of six companies.
One of these companies has mining rights for 200 sites in the North West province. Mr Yengeni is already a convicted fraudster and now it appears he has fallen foul of the law again. We await the results of the SAPS inquiry into Mr Yengeni's affairs with interest.
Yesterday the Daily Dispatch wrote, and I quote:
Asked about his lavish lifestyle and ownership of three luxury cars, among them a 2009 Maserati Gran Turismo, costing about R1,75 million, the Gucci-socialist said: "How many cars I drive is a private matter."
