Because Mlambo-Ngcuka's brother Bonga Mlambo was involved with Imvume on a planned hotel project at the time, he was at first alleged to have been involved in Imvume's oil business.
Debido a que o irmán de Mlambo-Ngcuka, Bonga Mlambo, estaba involucrado con Imvume nun proxecto hoteleiro naquel momento, foi presuntamente involucrado no negocio de aceite de Imvume.
