JOHANNESBURG – State Capture Commission Testing Leader Matthew Chaskalson has warned Public Business Minister Pravin Gordhan to limit his testing to what he personally knew and not hearsay.

Gordhan is being questioned by the lawyer for former South African Revenue Service (Sars) commissioner Tom Moyane.

He said Moyane wanted him to resign as finance minister so he could continue with the state capture project.

“Now outside of my knowledge, of course, there is information on various meetings with Bain & Company in Nkandla and elsewhere long before Mr. Moyane’s appointment at Sars and the implications that could be drawn from the listing, and this again is out of my knowledge. ” Gordhan said before being interrupted and warned by Chaskalson.

“Mr. Gordhan, I must ask you to limit yourself to the matters of your knowledge because otherwise the evidence and cross-examination may stray far beyond the limits of what will be helpful to the commission,” Chaskalson said.
