Johannesburg - AfriForum will ask the Hawks to investigate the R1.2m allegedly paid to ANCYL president Julius Malema by the Johannesburg architect building his home in Sandton, the human rights group said on Sunday.
This was in addition a charge of corruption it had already laid against Malema, AfriForum CEO Kallie Kriel said in a statement.
"AfriForum is determined to ensure that politicians who abuse their contacts to enrich themselves at the cost of the poor will be held accountable," he said.
Last month, AfriForum brought a corruption case against Malema after it was reported that business people were paying money into his family trust.
The Sunday Times has since reported that Steve Bosch's company, Sizani Build It, had made two payments from its Standard Bank account on Malema's behalf, to an Investec bank account - belonging to architect Aurielo Cimato.
According to the report, Bosch had scored tenders worth tens of millions of rand in Limpopo. Cimato was building Malema's multi-million rand house in Sandton.
An amount of R900 000 was deposited on March 4 this year, and another R300 000 on June 4, with "J Malema" as a beneficiary reference.
It was reported that the bank sent confirmations to Malema via SMS.
Malema has denied receiving any benefit from Bosch.
