A South African T24 applications specialist Lulama Kene (33) is alleged to have assisted Gold Leave Tobacco to delete its money laundering transactions gathered through cigarette & gold smuggling on @Sasfin banking system. Kene was Sasfin’s Tenemos Transact banking software guru.
Lulama Kene has been modifying Sasfin’s banking system since at least 2016 and helped Rudland avoid about 3 billion Rands in taxes. Billion with a “B”.
Several key officials at three major South African banks are helping a gold smuggling gang launder millions of dollars of dirty cash in exchange for regular bribes, an Al Jazeera investigation has found.
The officers at Standard Bank, Absa and Sasfin Bank have been on the payroll of Mohamed Khan, a money launderer working for cigarette magnate and smuggler Simon Rudland, thousands of documents and interviews with Khan’s former colleagues reveal.

These officers would enable dubious money transfers from Khan’s companies and remove evidence from the computer systems, all while getting monthly payments from Khan.
The revelation is part of Gold Mafia, a four-part investigation by Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit (I-Unit), which shows how multiple gangs smuggle gold from Zimbabwe and use it to launder vast amounts of money.
The documents obtained by the I-Unit include ledgers, contracts and emails showing the process Khan and Rudland used. The I-Unit also interviewed Dawood Khan, Mohamed Khan’s brother who helped forge documents; another of Khan’s former partners who we are calling Jimmy to protect his identity; and Khan’s ex-wife Wardah Latief.
