Looting CEO Qhawe Sithole released on bail

Qhawe Sithole, the Ubuntu Wealth CEO who was, this week, arrested for alleged looting, has been released on bail, while his alma mater, Hilton College, has threatened to expel him from its Old Boys societies.

Sithole, the founder and CEO of the Pretoria-based Ubuntu Wealth Management, was later suspended by his company for allegedly looting a washing machine, a bar stool, alcohol, a bicycle and braai accessories, items that were found in his Jeep Wrangler at a police roadblock in Durban.
He is understood to have been arrested with another Hilton College old boy, Trevor Maphumulo, who he was travelling with when he was apprehended by police.

Sithole, who is also a University of Cape Town, University of Free State and the London School of Economics alumni, did not respond to requests for comment on Friday. We condemn all forms of lawlessness and would like to publicly support law enforcement agencies and members of the public who are taking a brave stand in keeping the people of South Africa safe.

“If anyone associated with Hilton College is found to have participated in any illegal activity, we would be deeply disappointed and would expect them to face the full might of the law.

“Old Hiltonians who are found to have incited, looted, or supported looting, will have their membership of the Hiltonian Society and the Old Hiltonian Club terminated,” said Storrar.

Speaking to IOL on Friday, Storrar said the school had been unable to speak to the Old Boys concerned. He said their expulsion from the Hiltonian Society and the Old Hiltonian Club would effectively mean they could play no part in the decision making and the running of the school.
