Former Passenger Rail Association of SA (Prasa) chairperson Popo Molefe has accused the then ANC top six - whose term of office ended in Nasrec in December 2017 - of failing to act against widespread corruption within the organisation.
Deputy chief justice Raymond Zondo says he would be interested to hear from the members of the then ANC top six, headed by Jacob Zuma and Cyril Ramaphosa, on what their reaction was when they were told of corruption at Prasa. Zondo heard evidence on Monday that 'they did nothing'.
The top six then were Jacob Zuma as president, Cyril Ramaphosa as his deputy, Gwede Mantashe as the secretary-general, deputised by Jessie Duarte, Baleka Mbete as chairperson and Zweli Mkhize as treasurer-general. The board, upon picking up irregularities, cancelled the tender process and launched investigations into several other contracts they believed were irregular or fraudulent.Commission chair deputy chief justice Raymond Zondo said it would be interesting to hear from the individual members of the then ANC top six.“I want to know what they did about what you told them, not from you, of course, because you told me already that they never came back to you,” remarked Zondo.
