State capture: Witness breaks down explaining how Guptas captured Denel

Denel Land Systems' former chief executive allegedly aided and abetted the capture of the state-owned company by the Gupta family. File photo.Former contracts manager at Denel Land Systems , Celia Malahlela, was in tears at the state capture inquiry on Tuesday when she recalled how the Gupta family captured the state-owned company.

This was despite Malahlela, in an e-mail to Burger complaining about the Guptas, having sung praises to Burger for turning DLS from a division with an annual turnover of R300m to more than R2bn. Malahlela said Burger was determined that the contract be given to VR Laser and was obsessed with getting updates from her as an official at supply chain management.

That was not her only advice ignored as she had also said the contract must be limited to three years.

That's a sad story about Denel bankruptcy. The honourable was crying for her patriotism and willingness to serve until her retirement but the thugs continued to loot. Burger and anyone who benefitted from the demise of Denel must have assets forfeited and rot in Jail
