Former Prasa CEO Lucky Montana, who backed Mtimkulu, then matched the salary from the fraudulent job offer. However, the NPA was restrained in that at least R1,1 million from the sale of Mtimkulu’s apartment and parking bays in Bedfordview, Johannesburg, needed to be paid to Assetline – a short-term loan company – following a 2023 High Court order in Assetline’s favour after Mtimkulu failed to pay back a R550 000 loan taken out in 2020.
He then produced a fake offer of employment from a German firm offering him a salary of R2.8 million per year as an engineering services specialist. In a letter dated 14 September 2010, Lucky Montana, who the Zondo Commission found had played a significant role in state capture, and who was Prasa CEO at the time, offered to match the proposed salary. This more than doubled Mtimkulu’s salary at the time, which was R1.65 million per year.
