AmaHlubi Kingdom robbed of over R6 billion meant for development

King Muziwenkosi Langalibalele llJohannes Radebe

The Amahlubi Kingdom and it?s leader King Muziwenkosi "Langalibalele ll" Johannes Radebe are nursing serious wounds after 300 millions Euros (over R6 biilion) disappeared from their Kingdom Fund account. 


KINGDOM KEEPS MUM ON DAYLIGHT ROBBERY 


However, it appears that the kingdom, which has its base both in Kwazulu Natal and Eastern Cape, has been nursing their wounds in silence with no word or statement made publicly about the daylight robbery, which according to the police was carried out by their fund manager.

Zimoja can reveal that the Kingdom which was recently in court fighting for the recognition of their Kingship, opened a fraud and embezzlement case against the Kingdom Fund Account Manager ,Jacobus Sarel De le Rouveire,claiming that he emptied their account, stealing 300 million Euros which was meant for development. 


TRUSTED ADVOCATE TURNS OUT TO BE FAKE 


As if that was not enough drama, the Kingdom through its King Muziwenkosi Radebe entrusted the responsibility of tracing and recovering the money back, to an individual who turned out to be a con artist, who allegedly also wanted to make a run with the millions of Euros once recovered. 

Dila was arrested on Saturday morning by the Lyttleton Police with the help of Moja Love investigators during a sting operation at Midrand Boulders Mall. 

All these tidbits were exposed by the Amahlubi Head of Administration Amos Gordon Noah, who revealed in a police statement made under oath that Jacobus De Le Rouveire moved the millions of Euros from the Kingdom account without the King and the nation?s authorisation and stashed the money into various banks overseas. 


MILLIONS MOVED TO OVERSEAS BANKS


According to the statement seen by ZiMoja, the millions were hidden at Deutsche Bank in Germany, while other millions were stashed in National Australia Bank. 

However despite the case having been opened in September 2021, the only progress made was the arrest of Jacobus De Le Rouviere, and the money appears to have still been withheld by the two major overseas banks. 

In his statement, Gordon Noah told the police the Kingdom was close to securing the recovery of the money, but said the Kingdom was nearly conned by one Ntsikelelo Headman Dila, who posed as an advocate and was hired by the kingdom to help it to secure the return of the stolen funds. 

The statement further shows that Dila, who was given a power of attorney by the kingdom, was set to get a 7% fee of the 300 million Euros if he was successful in recovering the money. 


FAKE ADVOCATE 


The real drama, according to Noah, started when Dila was no longer taking the king?s calls and no updates about the refunds were made, that they started making enquiries of their own with the bank about the payments. 

Noah said they discovered that Dila was a few days away from securing the funds back, but for himself, and he was planning to make a run with the money of the kingdom. 

He said, in the same statements, that it was when they did a background check on Dila, with the help of the police, they found that the man who was supposed to help them secure the funds back to the country and the kingdom was allegedly a fraud. 

This was because they found that Dila, who claimed to be from Ntsikelelo Dila Attorneys, was in fact not a qualified lawyer and the Legal Practice Council had denounced him to be one of them. 

According to the police statement, they had also uncovered that Dila had planned to receive the million of Euros from the two overseas banks, through his company Ntsika Engineering, instead of a law firm trust account ,and make a run with the money. 


DELAY TACTICS 


As a delay tactic to make the king and his kingdom to stop enquiring about the transfers from the banks, the statement shows Dila had faked a document from the NPA using a names of a retired NPA Manager Silas Ramaite, in which he said the payment was going to be delayed by few months stating that De Le Rouveire was intending to appeal his case. 

Police sources have revealed that Dila who is believed to be residing somewhere in Centurion has been on the run since 2021 and was wanted in connection with the scam which he nearly pulled off. 

The Amahlubi Head of Administration Amos Gordon Noah did not respond to questions sent to him.

Gauteng Provincial Police Spokesperson Colonel Mavela Masondo confirmed the case and the arrest of Dila, which was effected with the help of Moja Love.

He said Dila was scheduled to appear before the Pretoria Magistrate court tomorrow on a charge of fraud and theft.
