'Foul smell of racism': Judge orders FIC to hand over Steinhoff, KPMG reports
The Financial Intelligence Centre has been ordered by the Equality Court to hand over a trove of confidential information on Steinhoff, Tongaat, Sekunjalo and KPMG to a group of businesspeople who say they were discriminated against when their bank accounts were shut.
The applicants, including former Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries official Siphokazi Ndudane and late trade unionist Dennis George, argued that the FIC's information would help them prove their accounts had been"arbitrarily" closed. Ndudane and co. brought the case against the FIC as an interlocutory application in an ongoing court battle between Sekunjalo boss Iqbal Survé, his companies and some of SA's largest banks.South Africans need to be in the know if we want to create a prosperous future.
