Former group chief executive officer of the state-owned enterprise Denel, Riaz Saloojee, on Wednesday told the commission of inquiry into state capture that after consistent attempts, he met one of the Gupta brothers and their business associate Salim Essa for a third time.
At the second meeting, Saloojee said former president Jacob Zuma’s son, Duduzane, was present as well as the son of current ANC secretary general, Ace Magashule.READ MORE:Saloojee said at the second meeting it became clear to him that the Guptas wanted to enter the defence environment and use Denel as a vehicle to do so.
The third meeting, which took part in the latter part of 2012, was only attended by Tony Gupta and Essa, Saloojee said, adding that when he arrived at the Gupta residence the “atmosphere was quite tense”. Saloojee told the commission that his understanding was that Gupta would either approach Gigaba or Zuma.
Saloojee said “there was no way” he would entertain Gupta’s comments because South Africa was following its own judicial, legal processes.
