Ashraff through his alternative company AvaPharm(Pty) Ltd is suing Funduzi Forensic Services R250million, the politically connected businessman of Indonesian origin is also suing Dlamini through his other companies or “company he allegedly operates through businesswoman Zinhle Matsebula” and, the collective amount demanded by Ashraff directly and indirectly is over R600million.
