Imvume Holdings is a South African oil company. It shot to fame in 2005 as a result of its involvement in what the South African press has dubbed the Oilgate scandal.[1]

In 2004, the investigation South African newspaper Mail & Guardian revealed Imvume's implication in the United Nations Oil-for-Food scandal.[2] Imvume was named as one of the companies that paid kickbacks to Iraq in exchange for a contract under the oil for food program. Imvume has since taken legal action against the Independent Inquiry Committee, the UN body that made the accusations. The court case is ongoing.
