'Brother Ace' gets a million - Tony Gupta allegedly tells Dukwana | J_chabalala
Rajesh"Tony" Gupta allegedly told former Free State MEC Mxolisi Dukwana that he was a trustworthy man who would drive to the house of ANC secretary general Ace Magashule and Duduzane Zuma, the son of the former president, to deliver a million rand in cash every month.
He said Gupta and Magashule then disappeared to another room and when they came back, Duduzane Zuma, Iqbal Sharma and other people accompanied them. Dukwana testified that he then looked Magashule straight in the eye, who was"just looking down". Dukwana told Zondo that he was told that he needed to sign a letter agreeing to put the Guptas in charge of a construction project.
But not only that, it also had the proper spelling of his name on it, and not the"Dukwana" version which he uses professionally and on all government documents. Dukwana told the commission that the letter came with a sweetener.Dukwana said he was promised R2m upon signing the letter and R2m per month for the duration of the contract.
Dukwana told the the commission that Gupta said that he drove to"Brother Ace""and I give him his million. The same with Duduzane. Isn't it so?"."I looked at him and thought this man does not know me, but he is giving me all this information about people," Dukwana testified.Meanwhile, in an exclusive interview with eNCA on Thursday, Magashule said Dukwana's testimony would not be explosive.
