 City of Johannesburg ExecutiveMayor Geoff Makhubo is set to give his testimony into state capture at the Zondo Commission of enquiry on Friday.

 Makhubo was the treasurer-general of the ANC's greater Johannesburg region from 2008 to 2018. Evidence leader advocate Matthew Chaskalson, told Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, who chairs the commission, that Makhubo would be testifying about donations to the African National Congress (ANC) made by IT service management company EOH and by other companies, including Regiments Capital. 

Arthur Chaskalson said  Makhubo was also MMC for finance when the City of Johannesburg concluded two IT contracts with EOH, and he will be testifying about his role in relation to those contracts.

Chaskalson added that the last topic that will be traversed in the evidence of Mr Makhubo is his relationship with Regiments Capital which is 100% owner of Regiments Fund Managers, which won contracts to manage the sinking funds of Johannesburg 

According to Amabhungane the Mayor of Johannesburg allegedly profited about R30 million from a contract he was given by the City of Johannesburg.

According to News24 Makhubo has appeared before the ANC's Integrity Committee over allegations of impropriety involving the City of Johannesburg's Sinking Fund. He previously said he was cleared of any wrongdoing by the ANC's integrity commission
