The Johannesburg High Court found Ronica Ragavan, Pushpaveni Govender, Optimum Coal Mine, Koornfontein Mines and Tegeta Exploration and Resources guilty of misusing funds meant to rehabilitate two Mpumalanga coal mines. IDAC spokesperson Henry Mamothame says the money was unlawfully diverted to pay mining contractors and other third parties:
