The Department of Public Enterprises has accused the portfolio committee of lying in its report about the canned SAA-Takatso Consortium deal.

The portfolio committee on public enterprises is accused of lying in its report on the cancelled SAA-Takatso Consortium deal.

The department accused the committee’s chair, Khaya Magaxa, of overlooking critical submissions by itself and Gordhan “and opened the door to Mr Tlhakudi to keep altering his false narratives to hoodwink the public”. “Based on its early assessment, the DPE has found the report to be riddled with conjecture, fabrications, distortions, and lies aimed at impugning the reputation of the DPE, its staff, and that of Pravin Gordhan,” the department added.Last week, DPE slammed the committee chair for saying he would ask the Speaker to institute an investigation by the Special Investigating Unit into the SAA-Takatso deal.
