JOHANNESBURG – Former South African Airways (SAA) board chair Dudu Myeni may not be answering questions, but her signature is speaking.
She confirmed the signature of several documents to the state capture commission, but later refused to confirm a similar signature on the depository receipts from the Jacob Zuma Foundation.
Myeni said Thursday that she never handled cash deposits from the foundation, but that the commission had evidence of various deposits of up to 100,000 rand made by her in person.
Former Bosasa COO Angelo Agrizzi told the commission that he would give her R300,000 in cash each month for the foundation and she arranged meetings with Zuma, but denied ever having met Agrizzi.
Earlier, the commission displayed its evidence from emails in which it arranged those meetings with the late Bosasa CEO Gavin Watson.
And test leader, advocate Kate Hofmeyr, explained how her firm was abandoning her.
“He did it yesterday when he confirmed that the letter he sent in response to the complaints of his co-members of the board in 2014 was his signature and he did so moments ago when he confirmed his signature on the affidavit he presented to the commission in March 2019 , so I hope you can help us with the signatures that appear on these deposit slips. “
Myeni also declined to confirm that he gave Watson and Agrizzi confidential information from the police file about the Bosasa investigations.
Agrizzi testified that Myeni met him and Watson at a Sheraton hotel in 2015 to deliver the documents.
In his affidavit, he said he was meeting Agrizzi for the first time during that meeting and that it was to talk to Watson about his donation for former President Jacob Zuma’s birthday.
Hofmeyr asked him to confirm the meeting: “Mr. Agrizzi said that he gave him and Mr. Watson confidential information from the police file about an investigation into Bosasa. Can you confirm that you had that meeting?”
But she did not respond to this evidence in commission.
“President, can’t I answer the question?”
