Magashule’s former PA, Moroadi Cholota extradited to South Africa

# Former Free State premier Ace Magashule’s former PA, Moroadi Cholota, is being extradited from the US to South Africa today to face charges in the 255-million-rand asbestos tender corruption case. Initially a key witness in the case, Cholota was charged after refusing to cooperate with the State. Allegations state that high-ranking officials, including Magashule, received kickbacks from asbestos removal funds, with only 21-million-rand’s worth of work completed. Cholota, escorted by the police and Interpol, is expected to arrive at OR Tambo International Airport this afternoon.
