Masango also told the commission that after a meeting, in which his phone was taken from him, Koko seemed to know his movements or the calls he would make and would call him to say “you’re talking.”

“He served as director of Linkway Trading, which was one of the entities that received a large amount of money derived from the Estina project. And that was billed against the costs of the Sun City wedding. “
He listed several companies that were paid, including one in which Duduzane Zuma is a director.
“I remember that the total amount that the government of the Free State paid to Estina Pty Ltd was R280,202,652 in eight separate tranches between July 9, 2012 and May 5, 2016. If you look at page 111, you can see that the figure was slightly different. They are R7 million more and that is R287,220,534 and the additional amount included there is caused by an accrual of interest against the amounts deposited by the government of the Free State in various Estina accounts “.
