Evidence leader Paul Pretorius said Els’ company, Thuthela Bagolo Trading Enterprise CC, was one of 106 entities that appeared on a provincial list of contractors who were assigned housing contracts in the province during that period.
Pretorius said that Mokoena believed that Els was close to Magashule.
Pretorius said that Mokwena had this belief because Zwane used to tell Mokwena that Magashule had said that Els should name his company and that his claims should be expedited.
Zwane denied this claim.
“The department head Gift Mokoena was closer to the former prime minister than I was. If there was a problem of that nature, that problem would be communicated with him, not with me, ”Zwane said.
Pretorius said that another company that was on the database and assigned housing contracts made a payment, which was recognized by the Magashule AP at the time, Moroadi Cholota.
Pretorius said that the sole owner of Rob’s Construction was Blacky Seoe, who recently died.
“Blacky Seoe and Mr. Magashule were co-directors of an entity known as Sambal. That evidence comes from a transcript of an interview investigators had with Mr. Seoe. Since then he has passed away, recently passed away, ”Pretorius said.
Pretorius said that after receiving housing contracts in 2010, Rob’s Construction made a payment to an entity called Sed Trade.
He said the payment was recognized by Cholota.
“This could have been at the direction of the prime minister’s office, we don’t know. That may be an inference that could be drawn, ”Pretorius said.
Pretorius said the payment was copied to Cholota, who wrote it down.
