ANC Women’s League president Bathabile Dlamini has been fined R200 000 or four years behind bars for perjury by the Johannesburg magistrate’s court.
Magistrate Betty Khumalo said on Friday that half of the four-year jail term would be suspended for five years.
Dlamini, a member of the ruling party’s national executive committee, was found guilty early in March despite technical glitches that had caused the ruling to be temporarily adjourned.
Her case related to false evidence that she gave under oath through her affidavits to the Constitutional Court regarding the South African Social Security Agency’s hefty and unlawful tender awarded to Cash Paymaster Services.
