On Friday, former KZN Hawks boss Johan Booysen told the Zondo commission about his visit to the Gupta home and why he didn’t tell his boss at the time, Berning Ntlemeza, about it.
“I just thought it would be prudent to tell her [Matakata] that I had met with the Guptas myself,” Booysen said.
According to Booysen, Gupta said they would have a celebratory dinner in KwaZulu-Natal if he was eventually appointed. “I didn’t respond because it was a bit of an uncomfortable situation,” Booysen said. Booysen alleged that, prior to Ntlemeza’s appointment as acting Hawks head, there was “an unholy alliance” between him and then Crime Intelligence boss Dramat was suspended in 2014 for his alleged involvement in the unlawful renditions of Zimbabwean nationals in 2010.
