VBS scandal top of agenda during roll-out of ANC's manifesto in Limpopo
Thousands of people packed the Thohoyandou Stadium in Vhembe region, Limpopo, on Saturday to listen to ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa as he led the party’s 107 th birthday and launch the manifesto in the province.
In almost an hour address, Ramaphosa spoke of the thorny issue of the VBS scandal in which hundreds of people lost money when the bank collapsed after being looted of billions of rands.
"In the Vhembe region, there is a huge problem of the bank named VBS in which money belonging to the elderly people was stolen. This matter of VBS is being investigated.
"We’ve agreed with the premier (Stan Mathabatha) after he reported that the implementation of the forensic report has reached another stage. The recommendations of the forensic report are being implemented.
"What is happening now is that evidence is being gathered for arrests and successful arrests," Ramaphosa said to loud applause.
