On Monday, the judicial commission of inquiry investigating issues of impropriety at the Public Investment Corporation heard that the Government Employees Pension Fund was “uncomfortable” with the state-owned asset manager’s R2-billion investment into Independent Media.

Asked by investments expert Emmauel Lediga, an assistant to the commission, if the PIC usually put money in risky investments, Mangalo said it does, but the media group was a different kind of venture.
