Transnet board chair Popo Molefe took to the stand at the Zondo commission of inquiry into state capture on Tuesday, alleging that the Guptas may have been involved in the appointment of his namesake, Brian Molefe, as the state-owned transport company’s CEO.
At the time, Popo Molefe considered Brian Molefe “well-educated, respected, and trained by some of government’s most highly respected ministers, like Trevor Manuel”. Asked why such contracts were not detected and why no action was taken, Molefe blamed “sophisticated operations” which saw a company initially staffed by qualified, competent people slowly succumb to corruption.He described Transnet as a complicated organisation. “It’s a system necessary for the movement of goods and services across the country,” he said.
