Wim Trengrove, senior counsel for former deputy finance minister, Mcebisi Jonas argued that the clashing versions of Jonas and Zuma junior about the controversial October 23 2015 meeting – the one at which a Gupta brother allegedly offered Jonas the post of finance minister in exchange for R600-m – remain “very narrow” and that:It is common cause that they later drove to the Guptas’ Saxonwold mansion; andThe only difference is what actually happened during that meeting.
Jonas told the Commission Hlongwane had never blackmailed him and neither had he ever accused the businessman of doing so. And, as it turns out, Duduzane is not quite on the same page as the Guptas on this meeting at Saxonwold. Louw drilled down into among other things, why Jonas’s version of the meeting and the bribe tale before the Zondo commission differs against what he originally said in a statement to the Public Protector.
Louw asked Jonas about the lengthy time lapse between the date of the alleged bribe offer and him going public on it in March 2016.
