Nasty turn in corruption investigation at Fort Hare

0

While the University of Fort Hare buckles under the weight of corruption allegations and ongoing criminal investigations, Business Law Focus host Evan Pickworth looks into the recent arrests of two prominent attorneys working on uncovering fraud and corruption at the university. The arrests came despite their trove of evidence, measuring in the terabytes and dating back to 2018, which they say lifts the lid on extensive layers of corruption at the university. 

In the interview, labour lawyer Bradley Conradie and forensic lawyer Sarah Burger explain how they were recently arrested by the police national task team investigating criminality at the university. They tell how they were whisked away Hollywood-style by 20 armed men from the comfort of their offices in Cape Town via private jet to East London and jailed, before having to fork out an extensive R50,000 bail.
