LIVE FEED: StateCaptureInquiry March 14, 2019
The former minister made his first appearance at the commission last year. He told the commission that he had visited the Gupta family's home and business after he was invited by Ajay Gupta.
It was this lie that led to his downfall. Shortly after he gave testimony various political parties demanded that he be fired or resign for lying. He eventually buckled under pressure and resigned as minister of finance and was replaced by Titi Mboweni. During his testimony, Nene had also revealed how he was under pressure from former president Jacob Zuma to implement the nuclear deal. He says he believes he was fired in 2015 because of his refusal to buckle under pressure. Nene believed the deal would have had massive financial consequences for the country's economy.
