DAYS OF ZONDO: Millions in laundered cash hidden in Dudu Myeni’s house, State Capture commission hears By Ferial Haffajee

“I would go to the houses and hide the money without telling the domestic worker and then I would call her and tell her. I would hide the cash in the office with the files. Sometimes, I would change the spot,” the in-camera witness, Mr X, testified at the Zondo Commission on Tuesday. He also revealed how he cashed allegedly laundered money for Dudu Myeni and paid it over to her either in cash or in different spots in two of her Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal homes.

For two days, Mr X has revealed how his company laundered cash out of the water board in a system allegedly masterminded by Myeni and by Mboniseni Majola, a former executive and engineer at the board. In hours of testimony on February 18 2020, Mr X revealed how Majola had created fictitious invoices for his company which he would dictate to Mr X’s secretary. He would then take the invoices, get them authorised at the Water Board and cash would pour into Isibonelo’s accounts.

She had also requested cash payments from those funds, testified Mr X. On Tuesday , Mr X said he had made cash such payments to Myeni on different dates and in different amounts. These requests did not surprise him as she would often use his business to carry out work on the contracts she won or she would use his business as a front. She would phone him to let him know when deposits would be made.
