‘Gagash’ linked estate controller case postponed to Monday
An estate controller had his case been postponed to Monday next week for bail application.
A 53-year-old estate controller, Gustavus Moloto, had his bail application postponed for a case linked to a high-profile estate fraud and money-laundering case. Moloto appeared in court alongside Charlotte Tibana, a suspended estate attorney, who has already abandoned her bail application. Both men face six criminal charges, including corruption, conspiracy to commit corruption, and money laundering.
According to the prosecution, Moloto is accused of wrongfully providing Tibana with deceased estate files for her to administer, in exchange for R10,500 gratification. The state intends to oppose bail for Moloto, as investigations are ongoing. The court granted the application to postpone the matter, with the next hearing scheduled for November 16, 2026.
Tibana is currently in custody for defrauding deceased estate accounts of over R11 million. Her co-accused include her husband, Peter "Gagash" Nonyane, Jabulani Maluleke, her sibling Rirhandzu Tibana, and an entity known as Risima Jeje trading enterprise.
