Mashatile welcomes Lungisa arrest


Arts and Culture Minister, Paul Mashatile, has welcomed the arrest of former National Youth Development Agency head Andile Lungisa and three other people.

Lungisa and his co-accused appeared in court on Friday for allegedly defrauding Mashatile's department of more than R2m rand for a failed music concert by US artist R-Kelly.

In a statement yesterday, Minister Mashatile said corruption, fraud or any illegality will not be tolerated.

He said he will be watching Lungisa's case with keen interest.

Lungisa and his co-accused were released on bail and will be back in court again at the end of the month.
