It’s alleged that his company had contracts with the university, which expired in 2015.

But these were illegally extended on a month-to-month basis by a former contracts’ manager at the institution costing the university nearly R20-million.

The current value of the restrained assets is R14.3-million but the SIU expects the value to increase as the court-appointed curator investigates the assets of the defendants.
