Civil rights organization AfriForum has made progress in its pursuit of a private prosecution case against South African politician Fikile Mbalula, over allegations of corruption relating to a family trip to Dubai in 2016. AfriForum’s Private Prosecution Unit obtained the case file from the South African Police Service after a successful Promotion of Access to Information Act application. The case concerns allegations that Sedgars Sports, a supplier for the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee, funded at least half of Mbalula’s R680,000 vacation.
