may have been about cash. It was at 11 : 02 that day that Mpambani
transferred the R 1. 1 million ‘loan’ from Diamond Hill to 605
Consulting’s account. This is the money he would withdraw the
following day, before his untimely death.
According to sources familiar with the murder investigation, when the
police found the cash in Mpambani’s car, they naturally asked his wife
and other family members what it was for. ‘Michelle and Manny [her
brother] told the police that Igo was on his way to Bloemfontein when
he was killed,’ one source told me. Apparently, they were evasive and
vague when the police tried to get more information regarding the
money. They simply told the investigators that the cash was for
‘business’, according to my sources.
I made several attempts throughout 2018 to ask Michelle about her
late husband’s dealings in the Free State, his involvement with
Magashule and the almost R 1 million he withdrew on the day of his
murder. She evaded all of my efforts to discuss the matter. This hardly
came as a surprise, considering how involved she became in 605
Consulting’s dubious dealings with the Free State provincial
government after her husband’s death.
