Mr Rooplal

Mr Sayed forwarded a request from Mr Malema on 15 June asking to know the complaint in case number Sandton 79/07/2019, which General Khan promptly responded to by accessing SAPS computerized database and sending a screenshot identifying the complainant as Mr Rooplal.

“Mr Sayed forwards a message: 'Need to know the complaint in case number Sandton case 79/07/2019'... General Khan responds very promptly... has gone on to the SAPS computerized database of cases, and he sends what looks like a photograph or a screenshot from that database which identifies who the complainant is in that case ... identifies the complainant as Mr Rooplal”

Mr Rooplal was the curator of the VBS Bank fraud case and Mr Malema has been implicated in the VBS Bank scandal through a plea explanation affidavit by former VBS Chair Mr Matodzi, who pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment for his role in the scandal.

“Mr Rooplal was the curator of the VBS Bank and that case, Sandton case 76/07/2019, was a case that he had instituted in relation to frauds concerning the VBS Bank. Now, Mr Malema has been implicated in the VBS Bank scandal. He is implicated in the plea explanation affidavit of the former VBS Chair, Mr Matodzi, who pleaded guilty and was sentenced to an effective 15 years of imprisonment for his role in the scandal.”

General Khan sent through not only Mr Rooplal's name but also his address, which was not asked for, in relation to the VBS Bank fraud case, which was an illegal favour in return for a favour suggesting political interference to protect Mr Malema.

“General Khan sends through not only Mr Rooplal’s name, which appears from the screen, but also his address, which was not even asked for...it has very much the appearance of a favour in return for a favour, an illegal favour in return for a favour.”

On 15 June, General Khan sent a draft question via Mr Sayed to Mr Malema related to the complaint in a Sandton case numbered 79/07/2019, including a screenshot from SAPS computerized case database identifying the complainant as Mr Rooplal.
