Summary:A former civil servant, Dr. Eschel Rhoodie, threatened to disclose new facts about the improper use of funds by the Department of Information. The affair had already forced the resignation of the Minister of Information, Dr. Connie Mulder, and had become known as Muldergate. Then a judicial enquiry found that President John Vorster had had full knowledge of the irregularities when he was Prime Minister, and he was forced to resign the Presidency.
