Mining magnate Brett Kebble gave about R260 000 to the former ANC chief whip Tony Yengeni, according to the trustees of Kebble's bankrupt estate, News24 reported on Friday.

This allegation was contained in affidavits in an application for a summary judgment that would force Yengeni to pay this amount back to the estate.

Yengeni, a business man from Milnerton, has already given notice that he will oppose the application.

Kebble was gunned down on his way to dinner on 27 September 2005.

On 25 April 2006, the High Court issued a temporary sequestration order against Kebble's estate. The order was finalised on 13 June 2006.

Anna Venter, Rainotes Nduna and Johannes Klopper were appointed as trustees of the estate on 11 September 2006.

According to the affidavits the trustees claimed that Kebble had made payments to Yengeni on 22 May 2003; 9 September 2003; 12 December 2003; 29 January 2004; 16 April 2004 and 22 December 2004 totalling R259 617.70.

Except for the payment of 12 December 2003, all the payments were made by electronic transfer and paid into Yengeni's account at First National Bank in Milnerton.

Immediately after every deposit, Kebble's liabilities exceeded his assets.

Yengeni was accountable, therefore, and had to pay the money back to the estate.
