DA MP Mark Burke says he has separated himself from Kastelo as the South African Reserve Bank investigates the Kastelo Group. He states that he resigned from the company in 2024 and stopped serving as chairperson of the broader Kastelo Group in February 2026.
The reporting frames his comments as an effort to clarify his involvement while regulators examine the company. The outlet notes his claims of non-involvement from earlier dates, rather than addressing the details of the Reserve Bank’s probe. With only this source provided, there is no separate account of what specific issues the investigation focuses on, or whether other Kastelo-linked executives make different characterisations of Burke’s role. The emphasis remains on Burke’s timeline of resignation and stepping away from leadership positions.
