SAPOHR SUSPENDS GOLDEN MILES BHUDU

SA PRISONERS’ Organisation for Human Rights president Golden Miles Bhudu has been suspended following allegations that he misspent more than R200 000 in donor funds intended for an HIV/Aids programme at the Johannesburg Prison. Bhudu is apparently refusing to heed the order, and the organisation’s board of trustees is now threatening to seek a court interdict against him. Bhudu rejected the allegations as “completely unfounded”.
