LIVE: The 'biggest mistake' is thinking state capture 'was about Zuma' - Jonas at #StateCaptureInquiry

Former director general in the department of Mineral Resources, Thibedi Ramontja, on Thursday detailed the secrecy that surrounded the acquisition of Optimum coal mine from Glencore, as he gave evidence before the State Capture Inquiry.

The mine was 2015 bought by a company linked to the Guptas, in a controversial sale that was conducted with the assistance of former minerals resources minister Mosebenzi Zwane. Ramontja told the commission of inquiry into state capture, led by Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, that the process of transferring the mine was directly handled from the minister’s office.

Zwane had traveled to Zurich to meet Glencore officials, in what Ramontja believed was active lobbying for the controversial business family. He stated that the purpose of the trip was not clear to him at the time, and Zwane had travelled with the deputy director general and excluded him.

Lots of frozen chickens in that briefcase.

KhethaMabaso3 its who's mistake bcz its the same person who preached Zuma this Zuma that why making a u-turn. pravin will not be cross eximaned bcz that will be the end of so called state capture. its a pity lives where destroyed by these devils lying abt state capture

Remember these same WMC trolls and their highly Toxic WMC media were against Zuma extending the terms of reference of that commission...

SimonPGrindrod Interesting checking out these comments on this TL.. they still haven’t got it StateCapture is and has always been the ANC government silly people. In 1994 the start of statecapture happened with the arms deal Jacob Zuma & Thabo Mbeki

SimonPGrindrod President is to be elected by plebiscite.
