Former MEC Mike Mabuyakhulu returns to court over corruption charges
The former Economic Development MEC, Mike Mabuyakhulu is due back in the dock today.
Mabuyakhulu was arrested earlier this year,on charges of money laundering and corruption.
They relate to R28-million which the provincial government in 2012 spent on a music festival that never took place.
The money, the State says, ended up in the back pockets of business people, their companies and politicians - among them Mabuyakhulu and his 15 co-accused.
At the last appearance back in April, the State indicated it had supplied all relevant statements and documents - including the indictments - to the defence.
