Former Eskom chief executive Brian Molefe has defended his relationship with the Guptas at the state capture commission of inquiry on Friday, saying they were the only ones who were willing to invest in a state bank that he was trying to establish.

Molefe said that Ajay Gupta, with whom he had become close friends with over the years, introduced him to a wealthy businessman from India who was willing to finance the operation, but it was later turned down by former Reserve Bank Governor Tito Mboweni who refused to grant them a banking license.

“I saw nothing wrong in going to their house. I had no reason to treat them like lepers as people pretend that they did when they met them for the first time,” said Molefe. Molefe said Ramaphosa was a key figure behind one of Eskom’s main coal suppliers, Glencore, which demanded that Eskom increase the price of coal from R150 to R530 per ton which would mean a transfer of R6 billion from Eskom to the company over three years.

“I told Glencore at a meeting that if they want to put a gun to my head then they might as well pull the trigger,” said Molefe.

marinavanzyl How quick we forget... This is the same Pilager that informed Thuli he had only professional relationship with the Guptas... Until she produced evidence

face of a thief

amaGupta umudlisa lomjita angikaze ngibone umsangano we loyalty enjena.

🤣🤣🤣

For now that is. The regrets will be coming out thick and fast very soon from this babes wokukhala 😭

He got paid lots and lots of money, why would he...?

Definitely.....

Uyagula le ntwana, I wonder why ingekabanjwa ithethinto nje ngoku🤔

No regrets when u go to jail

what do you expect..

Of course why should he regrets they made him sandf colonel,Mp plus 30M golden hand shake.

Aah the rats 🐀 are biting each other. I sense a falling out amongst thiefs

So?

No regrets.....yet

Damage control from ThumaMinaMediaGroup 🤣🤣🤣 Cyril is a crook, your telling us about 4% were is the rest going

We never said he should regret, we have always said that relationship is compromising the state to carry its functions properly. Because u will be conflicted based on what deals they were making in a company he is the CEO. Maybe we should do like the Asians. We jail friends.

The said part is that there are South Africans who even entertain such articles.Thixo!

Ask him why was he crying last year 🤔

What money did they invest, SA’s tax money was only theirs after YOU and your criminal anc buddies gave it to them!

All Gupta people do that

He may not but we definitely regret his relationship with them..

Please just put Molefe.behind bars.

Mandela Thabo Mbeki JZ n more ANC leadership were friends Guptas

Lol I also wouldn't have regrets if my friends were millionaires and would tend to give me money. They aquired the money in bad faith, I would simply receive it in good faith. 😊😇

He must go to hell with his guptas.

Yes, we know. Friendship with the Guptas had its benefits mos.

Of course he wouldn't have any regrets...he a scambag who got money, lots of stolen taxpayers' money out of his friendship with the Guptas.

Thumaminamediagroup is real.i now believe!!

Question) since he took reins about Transnet n Eskom how many contract were awarded to his friends 'Guptas' or close Guptas associates as he said yesterday Guptas are his friends compared to before his arrival at these two entities

Ayikho indaba lana kini, get the context. Breaking news was yesterday niphuma kuphi 😂😂😂📰

😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 please close shop guys, we can’t continue like this.

Brian just loves sucking Atul. 2 of SAs most disgusting

BREAKING NEWS!!! BREAKING NEWS!!! BREAKING NEWS!!! Cupcakes hand is deep in the cookie jar! Ramaphosa is not innocent! There's light at StateCaptureCom and so and so on.

Your reporting ne...

Time to go back to original Glencore price & reason for bankruptcy ‼️ Brian Molefe thinks his twisting of facts can paint a picture in which he's the hero😆

With whose monies were the guptas to invest in a state bank ... monies they stole from the poor in South Africa MbalulaFikile why are you quite about BrianMolefe2 blaming the baffalo

He also told us how corrupt is your favorite president

Black bank not State bank you fools!

That's not all he said 😂😂😂😂😂

With South Africans money, fraudulently gotten‼️🤯‼️

He is the CEO of a government institution earning millions to manage it, and he spending time to establish a state bank? Nogal with the Gupta shebeen. Where the hell does the ANC scrape these deployees from? We need Zondo to interogate the ANC Deployment Committee.

Was it a state or black bank? If the former, then who gave him a mandate to establish a state bank as he was no finance minister and was not even working at that ministry? My gut feeling is that the reference is to a black bank. Please report correctly, jisas 🤦🏾‍♂️

Brian Molefe you were 'JOKER' in the pack!!!

He collapsed that Stelleboch agenda today 🤣🤣 they are now Hiding behind the pandemic 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Is that all you picked up

We should be asking why is there no black owned bank? Indeed there is no appetite by the political leadership to establish institutions which will change the lives of our people meaningfully. SARB has shown the middle finger to the working class with high IR - to fatten banks

Fact is, all the Gupta gang were binded by one thing and one thing only, to loot state resources! All of them

Investing with what money if they only had R1m when they first got here?

Ramaphosa! You forgot Ramaphosa

As expected, they will go weaker narrative than the actual news of the day. Because stooge was implicated.

'Invest'. Nuh?

Seriously? 😅

His Master's voice!

You forgot to mention how corrupt Ramaphosa is

Look at him laughing like a 🐄, coz he knows he was there to talk 💩. By the way, where's Saxonwold shebeen? 🤔

Mxm...
