The Free State provincial government has not afforded its former economic development MEC Mxolisi Dukwane all of the relevant information he needed to corroborate his evidence before the state capture inquiry.
"I found that if I were to alert anyone that I was going to come to the commission and I needed information, I can say here and now, the information would not have been provided to me," he said.
"I just wanted the court to give the authority that would allow them not to do anything to the information that was requested."Dukwana wanted the cellphone records of his official phone, travel records during his tenure, travel records for Magashule in the same period, a presentation relating to a"data hub concept", his diary and e-mails and electronic documents"relating to state capture activities".
He was able to obtain only his travel records, some of Magashule's travel records which he described as not being"a true reflection" of events, and some e-mails. Deputy chief justice Raymond Zondo, who is chairing the commission, previously announced that he had contacted Free State premier Sisi Ntombela and asked for the provincial government to help Dukwana with retrieving any information he needed. He said Ntombela said that she would comply.
