Johannesburg – A guesthouse owner has provided the Zondo commission with evidence which contradicts former environmental affairs minister Nomvula Mokonyane's denials that Bosasa did not fund a birthday party for her 50th birthday.
Coetzee said he had been approached by Agrizzi to host a 40th birthday celebration in June 2003. He said he was told the party was for Mokonyane who he knew as the then MEC for community safety in Gauteng at time. "I got a call from Agrizzi asking for a meeting and they came to the guesthouse asking to host a function and that Bosasa would pay for the whole event. Initially, it was for 80 people, which then went up to 120. And when the guests started arriving it grew to 174," Coetzee told the inquiry.
