Years to axe corrupt senior SANDF officer
Military prosecuting boss and convicted fraudster Brigadier-General Ernest Zwane has finally been fired – nearly two years after Defence Minister Mosiuoa Lekota claimed he’d already done so.
But the SA National Defence Force has denied there was anything untoward about Zwane’s 23 months in the job from which he was supposedly axed.
Zwane received nearly R1-million in pay in this time.
“Please be informed that the Department of Defence had to follow its internal processes to conclude the matter,” spokesperson Colonel Petrus Motlhabane said.
The Star has established that 42-year-old Zwane – re-elected first vice-president of the International Association of Military Justice – is “furious” at his discharge, and considering legal action, despite being guilty of faking qualifications
Zwane’s grievances include claims that at least seven high-ranking defence force officers have retained their jobs despite being convicted of serious offences.INTERNAL PROCESSES: Defence Minister Mosiuoa Lekota.
