Beleaguered Magashule faces R32m asset preservation order
The Star
|May 15, 2025
THE Free State High Court has granted the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) a R32 million preservation order against Ace Magashule and others linked to the asbestos corruption and money laundering scheme.
Included in the court order is a luxury Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG, allegedly purchased in cash for R2m - a symbol of the lavish lifestyle funded by illicit gains.
According to the NPA, the seized assets are believed to be the proceeds of a web of criminal activities, including theft, fraud, corruption, and money laundering, orchestrated at the expense of the Free State Department of Human Settlements (FSDHS).
