An investigation reveals that the agency may have lied to the public about being compelled by the court to pay the nearly R500 000 to the law firm.

The Sekhukhune Development Agency (SDA) in Limpopo has been disbanded following allegations of fraud. This comes after the agency claimed two months ago that it paid R460 000 to a law firm that represented it in a recent legal matter.

The agency further stated that the payment was made after a court order was issued by the High Court in Pretoria, ordering it to pay the law firm the money that was owed to it. But it has emerged that the stamp used for the court order was assigned to a former court registrar, who resigned from the office.
