Controversy

Mvelaphanda has been the subject of scrutiny due to its involvement with Palladino Holdings in a USD25 million loan to start up a state mining company. The terms of the loan stated that in the event of default, the lender could receive payment in kind to the value of the loan, up to 30% in state mining assets.
