Three top ANC leaders were promised up to R30million in kickbacks after SA Express was awarded a dodgy deal to revive two North West airports by the provincial government.
Johannesburg -
At the centre of the deal was former SA Express general manager for commercial Brian van Wyk, who Tlatsana accused of hijacking her company with accountant David Kalisilira to channel millions of rands to ANC politicians, the governing party, senior government officials and Van Wyk’s life partner Sipho Phiri, among others.
However, Tlatsana continued, the R20m was short of R5m, which Van Wyk had earmarked for Mahumapelo despite the former ANC North West chairperson requiring R10m. “Without these people nothing will go, these are the people who will give us the contract,” Van Wyk told Tlatsana, motivating for the kickbacks.
He said Mahlakoleng and Phatudi were critical because they could decide to increase the subsidy by R18m to make it R69m.
