Recap In our previous instalments, we delved into RENS Kontant in Transito one of the cash-in-transit companies seemingly acting as a conduit for moving funds for a broad and exotic clientele. Looking even deeper, we managed to find what may have been a previously unknown route for the dissipation of state capture loot.
The Gupta family and the sprawling network of fixers that coalesced around them did South Africa one favour.
The work of laundering the proceeds of state capture has led to the exposure of vast swathes of the clandestine money-moving industry, generating leads that amaBhungane has now been able to follow to the door of many under-the-radar operators.
Among them is the cash-in-transit 'shadow bank' we delved into in the previous instalment of our Laundry series RENS Kontant in Transito, run by mother-and-son team Christo and Jacoba 'Kotie' Janse van Rensburg.
We've already seen how some alleged local and international crooks managed to move billions through its accounts, although RENS' attorneys have assured us that the company 'at no stage willfully or knowingly engaged in any illegal or nefarious conduct'.
