The Great Bank Heist

The looting of VBS bank was described as one of the most brazen bank heists in South Africa's history.

Advocate Terry Motau, who conducted an investigation into the bank heist, released a report in late 2018, detailing how 53 people were unjustifiably paid almost R2 billion between 2015 and 2018.

We spoke to Scorpio investigative journalist at the Daily Maverick, Pauli Van Wyk, who has been tracking this story and those implicated for many years.
