Montana, who has previously claimed Werksmans were fraudulently appointed and the cost of their investigations inflated, said the commission investigators initially wanted to “curtail” his evidence dealing with Werksmans “and a whole range of issues”, only for the commission to later allow evidence from the Werksmans reports to be placed before it.
Montana went on to accuse former Prasa board chairperson Popo Molefe, with whom he had a public spat before tendering his resignation in March 2015, of having siphoned money off Prasa contractor SA Fence and Gate, which he claims was paid into Molefe’s foundation trust. Zondo went on to say it “would be wrong for us to think that we never make some mistakes or that everything we say will always be understood the way we intend it”.
Advocate Soni then put allegations from Molefe’s affidavit to Montana, beginning with the Auditor-General’s findings of R500m in irregular expenditure at Prasa during the 2014/15 financial year. This finding contributed to the Prasa board under Molefe instructing Werksmans to investigate the rail agency’s contracts.
Soni’s point that the audit finding R500-million in irregular expenditure for the year ending 31 March 2015 covered the period Montana was at the helm at Prasa, was met with Montana accusing Molefe of conflating “the financials of 2014 and 2015”. He said in 2014 there was a delay in finalising the financial audit due to “an accounting treatment”, which he claims Molefe missed as he was appointed board chair in August 2014.
