Johannesburg - Former Land Bank CEO Philemon Mohlahlane and three others appeared briefly in the Pretoria Commercial Crimes Court on Tuesday in connection with fraud charges, the National Prosecuting Authority said.
"(The) case in Pretoria was postponed to July 27 for further investigations and we (are) still confident of sustaining the charges in a subsequent trial," spokesperson advocate Mthunzi Mhaga said.
Mohlahlane, former Gauteng housing MEC Mpu Daniel Mofokeng, Khutso Mosoma and Matuba Maponya were arrested on five counts of fraud and five of money laundering in February.
They allegedly transferred money from the AgriBEE fund to a firm of attorneys and spent the money on cars and houses. The fund was intended to help start up small businesses.
Mohlahlane is also being investigated for allegedly presenting fake educational qualifications.
