Defence shifts the blame in ‘ghost’ youth festival trial
Diamond Field Advertisers
|September 19, 2025
THE DEFENCE has attempted to shift the blame for the Umsobomvu “ghost” youth festival onto the then acting CEO of the Northern Cape Arts and Culture Council (NCACC), Phillip Speek.
Traffic Events and Entertainment CC was awarded a R1.6 million tender by the Northern Cape Department of Sport, Arts and Culture (DSAC) to organise the youth event in Colesberg on December 31, 2016, although the festival never took place.
The former acting head of the department, Ruth Palm, the chief financial officer, Andrian Coleridge, the chief director of corporate services, Bonakele Jacobs, and the director of Traffic Events and Entertainment CC, Lesego Stephens Mphake, are facing several charges including contravening the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), fraud, money laundering and contravening the Prevention of Organised Crime Act.
