Former Free State MEC Mxolisi Dukwana's appearance at the Zondo commission was postponed due to the Free State government's unwillingness to release information.
Johannesburg - Former Free State MEC Mxolisi Dukwana's appearance at the state capture commission was postponed to April due to the Free State provincial government's unwillingness to release information six months after commission chairman Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo asked Premier Sisi Ntombela to do so.
''We have been constrained and unable to get some of the crucial information as promised by the Free State government. The information that was obtained was done through an application that was heard last year in October. Other than that Dukwana, upon our advice, had to go through his emails dating back to 2011 to get some of the crucial information that was found. The information on his official cellphone, travel records and others remain outstanding...
''I indicated to Premier Ntombela that that trip would either occur on the following Monday or Tuesday...I spoke to her on a Friday. She assured me that provincial government will cooperate fully and facilitate access to such information. I am surprised that Dukwana has since not obtained any from the provincial government six months later.
Dukwana said the Guptas informed him that Magashule would not receive any cut from the city deal because he had numerous other government and private sector projects with the family that he was benefiting from.
