What's On Everyone's Lips : Melusi Gigaba And Norma Mngoma To Appear Before The Zondo Commission On Friday.
By Phumzile Mavimbela
The Zondo state capture commission has confirmed that they will hear testimonies from former Minister of Finance Melusi Gigaba and his ex wife Noma Mngoma on Friday. Gigaga has also applied to the commission to suppress Mngoma's evidence as inadmissible or alternatively hear her evidence behind closed doors.
According to Timeslive however, attached to Gigaba’s application is the commission’s rule 3(3) notice to him, setting out an extensive list of explosive allegations by Mngoma that he may wish or be required to answer to.
These allegations, some of which Mngoma has previously raised in media interviews, include his relationship with the Guptas, his visits to their Saxonwold compound and gifts he allegedly received from them. The allegations include:
- that from about 2009 when he was appointed deputy minister of home affairs, he had consulted “advisers” — who later emerged to be the Guptas — to discuss work matters;
- that he frequently met with the Guptas during his times as ministers of public enterprises, home affairs and finance; and
- that he had been told by Ajay Gupta about his move from home affairs to public enterprises, before the official appointment.
