Former mineral resources minister Mosebenzi Zwane on Thursday tried to persuade the Zondo commission that he was unaware that the Free State government had contracted a front company for the Gupta family for the failed Vrede dairy project — even though...

Evidence leader Pule Seleka put it to Zwane that, the sole director of Estina, was a former sales manager at the Gupta family’s Sahara Computers with no experience whatsoever in farming, and that payments from the provincial treasury were channelled to another company owned by the family, namely Gateway.

The fact that the funding had to be found in this manner suggested the project was not properly conceived or budgeted for, Zondo said. “In terms of thorough planning, I admit it looks clumsy but there are records to the effect that [when] we meet in budget lekgotla, there would be reprioritisation to some extent.

Lying son if a bitch

These Zuma cronies all cashed in to form their own anc faction was they got called into the commission.

He is a joke, he didn’t seem to know anything. As MEC he knew nothing that was happening in his own department. He didn’t have any straight answers either

Zwane doesn't know anything, doesn't even know where his arse is

Same old to all of them

He's talking kak as usual.
