In the January 12-18 2001 edition of the Mail & Guardian, an article appeared under the heading “Modise linked to MiG dealer” concerning Dr Voloshin and Marvol Management SA (Pty) Limited. At the time of going to press, Dr Voloshin could not be contacted. As a result certain allegations were made that were factually incorrect and had not been substantiated. The M&G recognises the article was defamatory and apologises to Dr Voloshin and Marvol for the inconvenience caused by the publication of the article and for any damages they may have suffered as a result of the article.
