Moyane killed AdrianoMazzotti investigation, says Nene
Nene also told the commission that he felt it should look into allegations that Mazzotti funds the EFF.In an interview with the SABC’s On Point in July last year, EFF leader Julius Malema said a loan and a donation given to him by two co-owners of Tobacco company CarniLinx have never been a secret. The party’s spokesperson, Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi,, tweeting: “Already in 2014 when we received help from Mr Mazzotti to register, we told the public, it’s no secret discovered by hardworking media.
A feud between Malema and Pauw at the time saw the EFF leader calling on the journalist to delete accusations made on Twitter that Malema had received a loan from Mazzotti to settle his tax bill. Pauw refused, admitting that he had been wrong to say it came from Mazzotti directly, when in fact it came from Mazzotti’s company.Malema admitted to the SABC that he had received a loan from Kyle Philips, another co-owner of CarniLinx. The loan was reportedly worth R1 million.
Malema also confirmed that Mazotti donated R200,000 to the EFF. He said the focus on this by the media and the public had nothing to do with Mazotti, and was instead caused by their detractors’ disappointment that the EFF managed to register and become an official political party. Malema added it was not the EFF’s job to declare money as the proceeds of crime. “This Mazotti money has not been taken to court and found to be proceeds of crime.”Nene confirms that he visited the Guptas in 2014 and again in 2016 while he was Minister of Finance.
