JOHANNESBURG – After a day of evasion in the state capture investigation, former SAA board chairman and delinquent director Dudu Myeni returned to the stand Thursday morning.
On Wednesday, she repeatedly claimed that she would not answer questions even when it came to basic inquiries about her grades, saying she did not want to frame herself.
He now declined to comment on a letter from six SAA board members who expressed concern about his conduct, his disregard for fiduciary duties and his recklessness.
They cited the delay of a Pembroke transaction that they feared would later cost the airline 800 million rand.
Test Lead Advocate Kate Hofmeyr asked if she was aware of the transaction: “Because they said it resulted in the delay of the Pembroke transaction such that the connecting lines for A320 deliveries were delayed four months. and they calculated the impact of that on SAA as a cost of around R800 million and added that it then had a domino effect that SAA had to increase its borrowing requirements with the lenders. Are you aware of that? “
Myeni replied: “Can’t I answer President so as not to incriminate myself?”
He also declined to answer a question about the makeup of the airline’s board.
But Myeni, however, lost her cool when Hofmeyer told her the minister took the letter seriously and went further to blame former CEO Coleman Andrews.
“I wish the minister who spoke about this, or any other minister, had taken up the issue of the collapse of South African Airways during the tenure of Coleman Andrews, who sold the South African Airways fleet, putting it in the deepest challenge. .. “
Myeni said she had to explain to her community and church leaders that she was not corrupt or a liar, but that they had labeled her everything because of her association with former President Jacob Zuma.
She said the books had been written by people who didn’t even know the full story.
She told the chairman of the commission, Supreme Court Vice President Raymond Zondo, that she was respected and an award-winning businesswoman, but was slandered by unidentified people, including a witness who said he and Myeni stole and laundered millions of Mhlatuze. Water when she was chair of the board there.
“A person comes there, they are covering it [his identity kept secret] – His name is Mr. X – he says things and is trusted. He does not show his face because he fears for his life. How do you fear for your life when you yourself are involved in criminal activity? “
