He claimed Harith and Lebashe appeared to be the same company “dressed up differently, which seemingly serves as a twin portal to access PIC funds”. There is ongoing litigation between the companies and Holomisa, following what Harith and Lebashe deemed were defamatory allegations made by Holomisa. They took him to court last year to seek an interdict preventing him from making and publicising statements they deemed were untrue.
After making the concession that he had not provided any evidence to the commission to support his allegations regarding the two firms, Holomisa attempted to evade questions from Berger. At one point, Holomisa even tried to reply to questions with questions of his own.
