LIVE: It was 'difficult' to refuse Gupta invites to Saxonwold because they were Zuma's friends - Nene at StateCaptureInquiry
Ramontja explains that in hindsight he should have been more vigilant, but at the time he did not think that someone would attempt to use government systems for their own purposes. Ramontja suggests that someone had identified a weakness in the system, and exploited it.
Ramontja says he did not authorise the draft letter to be sent back to the addressee, but the letter had mysteriously left his office somehow. Ramontja says while he signed the letter, he had plans to revisit it at a later stage, which is why he didn't date it. The letter later resurfaced when Eskom officials were defending themselves in Parliament, using it to explain their actions at Optimum.
