Businessman Vivian Reddy slammed corruption allegations against his name by offering a handsome reward of R5 million to whoever can disprove his innocence.
Founder and chairperson of the Edison Power Group, Vivian had been accused of paying the legal fees of the Chief Financial Officer of KwaDukuza Municipality, Shamir Rajcoomar. According to reports, Shamir was suspended from his post due to corruption and bribery. The Citizen adds that his suspension process is still ongoing.
Vivian, who invested over R500 million in KwaDukuza Mall, says that there are also “vile, malicious, fake allegations” of him paying certain councillors R6 million each as well as paying ANC officials a certain amount of money.
In a video shared on the mall’s social media page, Vivian stated, “These allegations are absolutely fake, and I am so determined to get to the bottom of this.”
He then said that he would be giving a reward to anyone who presented proof that he had made any such payments.
“You will be rewarded with R5 million, and all you have to do is go to the local police station, produce a signed affidavit of my involvement, proof of such involvement and you will get paid, no questions asked.”
The husband of The Real Housewives of Durban star, Sorisha Naidoo, continued, “These malicious rumours are emanating from the inner battles between the ANC members, and I want no part of it. You have got to fight your battles without wrongfully involving my name for your own benefit.”
