A new book details how the late Gavin Watson swindled a group of “clueless” ANC Women’s League leaders out of their company, which later scored billions of rands in corrupt tenders from government and state-owned entities

A new book details how the controversial businessman tricked the women into signing their company over

While most of the female leaders were distancing themselves from the company when it courted media attention on how it operated the Lindela Repatriation Centre in Krugersdorp, Mokonyane kept her close ties with Watson and benefited handsomely with braai packs, alcohol, security upgrades to her homes and cash.

“What he was doing together with Angelo Agrizzi [who detailed Watson’s corrupt dealings at the state capture inquiry], only his Creator will deal with. Who are we to judge? What we know is that every day Gavin used to say: ‘Forgive us for our trespasses.’” Hilda Ndude, an ANCWL leader who left her role in the Western Cape legislature to run the women’s new company, Dyambu, said Watson – who had been brought in only to help the women run the business – advised them “to form a company, Dyambu Operations” with the sole purpose of “adding a feminine touch” to the largely unreformed mining industry at the time.

The book reveals that on August 3 2000, Watson persuaded Ndude to sign an acquisition letter that would “delink” the women from the Lindela operation. “Gavin is the biggest manipulator … Gavin knows how to corrupt people because he realised black people don’t know anything about money, especially the comrades, because really, we were never involved in issues of money. All that he wanted was people with struggle credentials,” Ndude said.

The formation of the company to benefit the leaders was discussed at Mapisa-Nqakula’s home in Johannesburg, where Watson’s older brother, Ronnie – a family friend of Mapisa-Nqakula and her husband, Charles Nqakula “We designed everything [the company name and branding], and Gavin was going to run the entity for us. He was brought in to be the overall manager of all operations and business activities of Dyambu.
