Shivambu's attorneys allegedly demanded a secrecy clause as part of the contract signed; emphasising that there is no specific reason for the payment.
According to News24 ,Vele Investments previously operated as a majority shareholder in VBS Mutual Bank. Vele and VBS executives allegedly stole over R1.5 billion from the bank's depositors.
EWN reported that an acknowledgement of debt contract signed shows that Shivambu signed the agreement in March last year, acknowledging that he was the beneficiary of millions of rands for no specific reason.
The reimbursing of R4.55 million allegedly being the second link to VBS that Shivambu was forced to honour. The first was a payment of R2.78 million.
