Four men – two of who are South Africans – have been sanctioned by America's Treasury Department for playing a central role in securing financial aid for ISIS, by using South Africa's banks and other financial institutions.
Two South African men, an Ethiopian national and a Tanzanian have been fingered for helping the ISIS terror group to secure funding.
At least one of the men on the department's list had previously been charged with terror-related transgressions in the Durban area, but the court struck the case off the roll. Mbaga is listed for securing funds and weapons for ISIS extremists in the north of Mozambique by using local institutions. When the police swooped on the 12 accused and another five men, they discovered a Tanzanian man chained at a property in Reservoir Hills, Durban, which allegedly belonged to Hoomer. At the time, the Tanzanian was held for ransom.
