Days of Zondo: Newsflash: State Capture judge seeks response from the Hawks over delays in Transnet bribe case By Jessica Bezuidenhout JessBezJourn

Justice Raymond Zondo, chairperson of the State Capture Commission, has instructed the commission’s legal team to make contact with the Hawks as a matter of priority to determine why – nearly 18 months after a complaint was filed in terms of anti-corruption laws – there appears to have been no progress in the case.This is taxpayers’ money. A year and a half, if not more have passed, and still, nothing has happened.”Please can the legal team get in touch with the head of the Hawks.

But, CNR’s local Chinese representatives then presented the minority shareholders with an unknown entity called Business Expansion Products contracted, without their knowledge and support, to negotiate a further claim for the relocation which then shot up to R647-million. why Colonel Navin Madhoe, implicated in a corruption scandal involving Durban businessman, Thoshan Panday, remained at workGonsalves concluded his testimony on Friday morning when he again told the Commission that there was no justification for Transnet to have paid the Chinese-led consortium for the relocation as the costs had been factored into its bid price.

Justice Zondo, seemingly disturbed that hundreds of millions of rands had allegedly flowed to CNR SA and BEX for no justifiable reason, was equally concerned that nothing has come of complaints that date back to at least 2016.
