StateCaptureInquiry 'The business was hijacked from me. The business was hijacked in the beginning because a lot of things were happening…I would not know, I would just see on the phone that money has gone.'

When she began her testimony on Friday, Tlatsana said the daily running of her company was taken over by people Van Wyk forced her to appoint, and she had no knowledge of the transactions being made - aside from SMS notifications from the bank on transactions which had occurred.

Four days later, another R2m was paid to an entity called Movement and Finance. A total of R6m had now left the account. R5m was diverted out of the account a month later. Van Wyk apparently told Tlatsana it was to pay stakeholders, purchase fire trucks and instal security cameras at both airports.

It is both sad and scary to hear how easy it is for crooks to take advantage of gullible people. Equally scary is to hear how many gullible people there are who don't think that something is not right, but will go with it because they'll get some extra cash.

I am so ashamed to be a S.African right now because the media is dominated by corruption in GOVERNMENT at private sector. Maybe we must change the name to SKELEM AFRICA. atleast the suits our country.

This testimony is making me sick.
