It was during a meeting at the family's Saxonwold home in 2012 that the alleged bribe was offered.
Former MEC of economic development in the Free State, Mxolisi Dukwana, at the state capture commission on Friday, April 5 2019.Former Free State economic development MEC Mxolisi Dukwana claims that Rajesh Gupta offered him R2m a month as a kickback for helping the family secure a multibillion- rand construction job in the province.
At the centre of Dukwana's testimony before the state capture inquiry on Friday is ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule, who - while he was Free State premier - allegedly took Dukwana under false pretences to meet Gupta on a number of occasions.But this was not the first time he was taken to see Gupta.
Dukwana told the commission that in February 2008 , while he was MEC for safety, Magashule approached him while he was at a hotel in Sandton for a meeting. "I had finished my meeting. I was just relaxing and [Magashule] came. I was not surprised he was there because it has been the hotel he frequented. He then asked me to accompany him to Midrand - and because I was not doing anything I felt it would be good to go with him," Dukwana said.
