paid in two instalments of R 500 000. The next thing I knew Ace had
collected the first R 500 000 himself. Mike did later pay the second
R 500 000 to the ANC, but the money Ace took did not come to the
ANC,’ alleged Dukwana.
Mokoena strongly denied the allegation. ‘The information at your

is making a big mistake.’
Further careful analysis of the companies listed in the FSHS’s court
papers and on the HSS reveals that the spouses and children of some of
Magashule’s senior colleagues in the provincial government and the
local legislature also benefited from housing contracts. Subsequent
progress reports have highlighted problems with the work of each one
of these entities.
People First Construction, Moyakhe Trading, Phahama Development
Trust and Jore Construction were all listed as respondents in the court
application, but were not sued to recover money. Collectively, these
companies received payments totalling over R 40 million during
Magashule’s reign as premier. Unlike the entities owned by or linked to

CIPC records show that People First Construction’s sole director is
Tankiso Morule, wife of Playfair Morule, a long-serving Magashule
ally. Morule himself was once a director of the company.
Playfair Morule has held several senior political and executive
