The Zondo Commission says it was no coincidence the one-time Western Cape premier was chosen by former President Jacob Zuma to lead the Public Enterprises portfolio in 2014.
It believes the Gupta brothers probably had a hand in Lynne Brown’s first and only ministerial appointment.
Her cellphone records were a decisive factor in determining whether she was a conscious agent of state capture. The commission has rejected Brown’s evidence she cannot remember anything about these conversations and believes she was deliberately untruthful in this regard.Brown’s also been criticised for not providing her security records to challenge the testimony of former board chair Zola Tsotsi that Tony Gupta was present at a meeting at her residence.
