Criticism
In August 2012 the Mail & Guardian reported that Mvelaphanda (Mvela) Holdings, a joint venture between Tokyo Sexwale and OZ Management, was behind a USD100 million loan to the Zimbabwean political party Zanu-PF.
Och-Ziff Capital Management Group is one of the companies accused of threatening to block the European attempt to save Greece from defaulting unless they are guaranteed a significant payout. In response, Och-Ziff issued a statement, saying that it did not have a material investment in Greek sovereign debt, nor had it been involved in the debt negotiations.
Palladino Holdings and Mvelaphanda Holdings, affiliates of OZ Management, are connected to a $25 million loan that Palladino lent to the state of Guinea in order to start up a state mining company.
