If you steal millions or even billions of rand , one of the biggest problems you are going to face is how to disguise the criminal taint attached to the funds.
To simplify slightly, you will be guilty of money laundering if you know or ought reasonably to have known that money is or forms part of the proceeds of unlawful activities and you deal with the funds in such a way that it “has or is likely to have the effect of concealing or disguising the nature, source, location, disposition or movement of the said property or the ownership thereof or any interest which anyone may have in respect thereof”.
The money laundering aspect of the Public Protector’s “investigation” deals with one private person or business channelling money to another private entity and is therefore completely beyond the scope of the powers of the Public Protector.
to justify the extension of her probe beyond the question of whether President Cyril Ramaphosa lied to Parliament about the Bosasa donation. In the Oilgate case, the then Public Protector held that he could not investigate a complaint about money from PetroSA being channelled through a private company into the coffers of the ANC because the money stopped being “public funds” when PetroSA transferred the money to the private company. The court rejected this argument because the essence of what was to be investigated was public money unlawfully being channelled from a state-owned enterprise to a private company and then on to the ANC.

pierredevos So why did you not comment on this when the DA initially asked her to investigate you will be telling us its outside the scope of the Zondo commission and if it fails you will tell us NPA cant waste resources on petty issues
