A fraud case has been opened against the leader of the Congress of the People, Mosiuoa Lekota, days after he suspended party treasurer Hilda Ndude for alleged financial mismanagement.
Western Cape police spokesperson, Captain Frederick van Wyk has confirmed that a case of fraud had been opened.
Cope's leader in the Western Cape, Mbulelo Ncedana laid the complaint on Friday, accusing Lekota of corruption and mismanagement.
Ncedana said while it might be true that Ndude had mismanaged funds, she did so with Lekota, who was signatory to the very accounts which had been mismanaged.
Lekota was unaware of the case and disputed the allegations.
