FOUNDATION for Peace and Justice staff member Leslie Liddell has denied reports that she received a loan from Dr Allan Boesak’s troubled foundation.
Liddel says she believed she would receive a car from the FPJ as part of her package, but was then told she would have to repay the cost of the car in instalments of R400 a month. When she left the FPJ she had repaid R12 000.
The lawyers who conducted the investigation into FPJ, Bell Dewar and Hall, say that the books reflect Liddell as a debtor for an amount of R25425, the amount paid for the car. Liddel paid this off at R400 a month until she resigned.
FPJ accountant Freddie Steenkamp and Boesak told the lawyers that the remainder of the loan was paid in lieu of a retrenchment package.
