Last chance for municipalities to claim VBS millions
Share
Johannesburg- Municipalities, businesses and shareholders owed by the now defunct VBS Mutual Bank have until two weeks to lodge their valid claims in the doomed financial institution.
VBS liquidator Anoosh Rooplal has told its creditors, who include municipalities, suppliers, retailers, businesses and permanent shareholders, that they have until May 21 to lodge their valid claims.
However, Rooplal also warned that there is no certainty that claims will be accepted by the Master of the High Court or that any amount of their claims will eventually be made available.
He said the claim merely proves who VBS’s legal claimants are.

On Tuesday, a preliminary session was held by the ANC North West disciplinary committee with Mokgoro ahead of his matter being heard on 19 March. Mokgoro is still at work but is being “monitored” by the ANC leadership in the province.
