The former head of IT security at the PIC, who is part of the corruption investigation against former CEO Dan Matjila, says he is still receiving sensitive transaction documents from the state asset manager which he has been passing on to authorities.

including not informing Matjila that he was subject to a corruption investigation by the South African Police Services and being in possession of confidential information.

On Tuesday, Mayisela confirmed to the commission, headed by retired Judge Lex Mpati, that in addition to documents on the Ayo transaction and an “LMA Risk Participation” transaction with Deutsche Bank, he was still receiving documents on transactions from inside the PIC which he continuous to hand over to police.

But things didn’t go as planned when, after opening the case, police decided to investigate the substance of the allegations instead of focusing on the identity of the anonymous whistleblower. While he was mining confidential information from the PIC Mayisela said he did not inform Matjila and the board about the investigation because he believed at the time that he would have obstructed the ends of justice.

He maintained that the findings by Advocate Nazeer Cassim, who presided over his disciplinary were flawed because when he initially opened the case he was not aware that the police would investigate a case of corruption against Matjila. He said he only started to deliberately withhold information from the PIC when he decided to assist with the investigation.
