Jacob Zuma’s FNB account frozen

Recently, Briefly News reported that Jacob Zuma's FNB account was frozen thanks to an order obtained by VBS Mutual Bank liquidator Anoosh Rooplal.

This was because Zuma defaulted on paying the loan he took from the defunct bank. Rooplal allegedly tried to get money from Zuma since he was appointed to liquidate VBS Mutual Bank in 2018.
