Tears appeal against R2m irregular expenditure fails
Cape Argus
|June 23, 2025
AN APPEAL challenging the findings of an Auditor-General report that gender-based violence non-profit organisation, Tears Foundation made an irregular expenditure of R2 million has been dismissed.
It's alleged that Tears CEO, Mara Glennie, made the irregular expenditure.
Glennie is now to show cause, by the filing of an affidavit within 30 days, as to why she should not be ordered to pay all the costs of the application.
In response to the judgment, Glennie said she would be appealing and that the facts were incorrect as an audit provided to the judge in March showed no misuse of donor funds.
The organisation has no links to the animal rescue foundation with the same name.
