Thalente Myeni outside the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into State Capture on 17 February 2020 in Johannesburg.A company linked to payments from the Free State government, which found their way to the Jacob Zuma Foundation, received payments from the province to train what the DA calls"incompetent" road contractors.
A company involved in financial flows which saw money from the Free State government end up in the Jacob Zuma Foundation's coffers, scored further contracts worth R76 million from the provincial administration. In the 2021-2022 financial year,"no expenditure was incurred for remuneration during 2021-2022 because no services were rendered due to the fact that the contract agreement lapsed on 31 March 2021", read Mbalula's response."Between the 2019-2020 and 2021-2022 financial years, [over] R695 million was paid to CDP contractors for sub-standard work on Free State roads, signed off by unqualified engineers employed by the provincial roads department," Michalakis said.
In the first part of its report, the commission referred to the evidence of a protected witness, Mr X, who testified about a scheme where he received money from the bank account of Thalente Myeni, son of former South African Airways board chairperson and chairperson of the foundation, Dudu Myeni, even though he had no business relationship with the latter.Join the 1 million News24 readers who are signed up to receive the top, must-read stories of the day in their inbox.
Questioned at the commission, Thalenthe Myeni contradicted Mr X and claimed his dealings with VNA Consulting and Mr X were legitimate. "He could not recall the period over which the work was to be completed. Despite being summonsed by the commission to produce the document that would evidence this business relationship, Mr Myeni could not produce a single document."
