The DA in North West described Derrick Montshwe as a hostile agent who was allegedly protecting former president Jacob Zuma and former North West premier Supra Mahumapelo.
Johannesburg - A North West businessman, whose company was allegedly used as a conduit to deliver cattle to politicians, including 24 Nguni cattle in 2016 to then president Jacob Zuma, has denied all allegations.
The DA in North West described Montshwe as a hostile agent who was allegedly protecting Zuma and Mahumapelo. Montshwe was summoned by the portfolio committee led by Bitsa Lenkopane to respond to allegations that he, through his company, delivered the cattle to Zuma at his Nkandla homestead in October 2016.Montshwe was also asked to respond to an allegation that he paid R500000 for a cosmetic rhinoplasty for former North West agriculture MEC Manketsi Tlhape.
Lenkopane said: “He has given the committee access to probe his personal and business accounts, saying that would prove that no such transactions took place. Mr Montshwe also undertook to give a written reply to deny allegations that he transported a herd of cattle to Zuma. “The committee members will then be given an opportunity to discuss his response on those allegations.”
“The DA views Mr Montshwe as nothing other than a hostile agent summoned by the committee to protect the implicated beneficiaries of this contract,” Theologo said.
