| Allies of South Africa's ruling African National Congress have called for an investigation into claims that Julius Malema, the party's youth leader, was paid to help businesses win government contracts.
Mr Malema, who has declared war on ''white monopoly capital'' in Africa's biggest economy, was the sole trustee of a fund that allegedly received payments that were used to finance a lavish lifestyle, Johannesburg's City Press reported.
Mr Malema, 30, denied he was paid to help secure government contracts or had spent money from the Ratanang Family Trust on himself, according to an affidavit to the Johannesburg High Court.
