The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) is expected to drop a string of charges against all the accused in the Vrede Dairy criminal case on Tuesday.


The accused will be appearing in the Bloemfontein Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday where this will be made known. The charges include fraud, money laundering and corruption. 

Last week, in a dramatic twist of events, NPA Spokesperson in the Free State, Phaladi Shuping, confirmed reports that the authority had indeed sent letters to each of the accused’s legal counsel indicating their intention to drop the charges. 

Shuping told OFM News this is because they have been unable to obtain crucial information from the United Arab Emirates and India on the case. 

Despite this development Shuping says this isn’t the end of the road for the case on the controversial Vrede Dairy Project.
