JOHANNESBURG – The legal adviser to the state capture commission said they would argue in due course that the former chairman of the SAA technical board, Yakhe Kwinana, was a dishonest witness.
In an unusual move, the commission is sitting in Braamfontein this weekend as it races against the clock to complete its work on time.
Kwinana took the stand on Saturday to complete her testimony on dubious contracts secured with a company known as JM Aviation.
It is alleged that Kwinana received millions of rand in bribes in exchange for lucrative contracts from SAA to JM Aviation.
But Kwinana maintained that he had no personal financial interest in the company.
When asked about certain statements she was required to make in the investigation, the former SAA board member said she did not have the documents.
But the evidence advocate, Kate Hofmeyr, would not accept any of that.
“The problem is that on Tuesday his version was that he does not have the statements of January 2020, since they were taken by the server. So, Mrs. Kwinana, we will argue in due course that you are a dishonest witness. You are a witness that changes the fact every time it is difficult for you ”.
