A former Bosasa employee has testified at the ZondoCommission about former environmental affairs minister Nomvula Mokonyane allegedly receiving a meat package which was funded by the company.
Bongiwe Dube, a former employee at Bosasa, took the stand on Tuesday. She worked at Bosasa's head office and was responsible for providing catering services.
Dube said she found the call strange because at the time Bosasa's main office was closed for the Christmas break. She then called her boss, Catherine Mathabata, who confirmed she did not need to worry because she would arrange for the delivery and that it was intended for Mokonyane. "The Food Boys called me and they wanted to know since the head office was closed for the Christmas break and they said there is a big order done by Catherine Mathbatha. They asked where it was going to and I asked to confirm and that is when I was told that I should not worry it is for Miss Mokonyane," Dube testified.
"We only did a birthday once for Jacob Zuma. We were instructed by Allister. We ordered a cake and arranged snacks and all those things," Dube testified.
