The Zondo commission into State Capture has heard about claims that the ANC may have benefitted from an irregular tender awarded by the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa) in 2013.
Former Prasa board chairperson Popo Molefe continued testifying at the commission on Tuesday. Molefe has been giving evidence related to corruption he witnessed while he headed up the state-owned enterprise's board between 2014 and 2017.
Molefe had also told the commission that an investigation into corruption at Prasa had also uncovered an email exchange between former Prasa CEO Lucky Montana and Gomes. Molefe also told the inquiry that his board had written to the Hawks asking the organisation to expedite cases opened about corruption at Prasa which included the Swifmabo contract - the High Court had found that the contract was irregularly awarded.
