However unconfirmed report reaching the paper from South Africa, where Prof. Mills is on a visit, suggests that the main presidential challenger for the December polls may have received a huge sums of money from a top-ranking corporate source in South Africa.

According to the paper, one particular source puts the figure up to $1 million, which has been allegedly sourced from two companies with links to the powerful Kebble family.

The person at the head of the alleged funding is the controversial mining magnate and fine art patron, Roger Brett Kebble, 40. The multi-millionaire is a well-known donor to Political Parties.
