{{The United Nations has turned to fired ANC security chief Tito Maleka for help in tracking down the missing Gaddafi billions — a move expected to spark a diplomatic row between South Africa and the world body.}}
According to the Sunday Independent, the move tacitly indicates that the UN has little confidence in the South African government’s assistance as the Department of International Relations played ignorant last week to the organisation’s request.
The newspaper reports it has reliably established that the panel of experts advising the UN Security Council Libya Sanctions Committee has contacted Maleka requesting his help to find the loot, worth an estimated US$10 billion, hidden by Gaddafi in South Africa.
The panel was set up by the UN to monitor assets frozen by the UN Security Council to starve Gaddafi of resources in the wake of the rebellion against him in early 2011.
