JOHANNESBURG - The controversial Moti Group will be waiting to find out what damning allegations AmaBhungane will publish next, after the Johannesburg High Court scrapped a gag order against the investigative unit.
The unit previously uncovered evidence claiming the Moti Group had, what it called, “greased up” Zimbabwean politicians for business favours.The latest reveal in the Moti files pointed to a conflict of interest by a former employee at Investec Bank while the Moti Group was trying to secure a debt restructuring plan to pay off a R3 billion loan.
But the Johannesburg High Court overturned the ruling, calling the Moti Group's ex parte application an abuse of court processes.
