Businessman Vuyisile Ndzeku stands accused of colluding with former SAAT procurement boss Nontsasa Memela in forging an affidavit and a land purchase agreement that never existed.
According to Ndzeku, he met with Memela at a workshop organised by SAAT in 2015. The workshop was with companies that wished to do business with the national carrier.
It was at this point, he said, that Memela told Ndzeku that her mother owned a piece of land that would be suitable for this. It was not far from the Umzimvubu River. She then introduced him to her mother. But Ndzeku’s entire version of events was cut to shreds by commission evidence leader advocate Kate Hofmeyr.
Not only that, but the affidavit that was attached to the agreement - with a police stamp - was also “forged” in 2019, as per submissions from the station commander of the Saps station in Mount Frere, where it was allegedly stamped.
