Zondo Days: What the Guptas wanted from Mcebisi Jonas

Gupta patriarch Ajay Gupta sought to buy Mcebisi Jonas for R600-million so he could help boost the family’s State Capture loot to R8-billion.

Testifying on day three of the Commission, Jonas seemed unruffled, consistent, honest and sincere as he relayed details of a meeting with the Gupta brother on that Friday afternoon in October 2015. There was one problem: National Treasury was a stumbling block in corrupt efforts and the meeting with Jonas didn’t go according to plan as it had gone with other enablers of State Capture.We have Lynne Brown and Brian Molefe. He is safe. Nothing will happen to him,” Ajay allegedly told Jonas.

By now, without his car, as he been taken to the compound by Duduzane, Jonas had to make his way to the airport courtesy of a Gupta driver. Although he briefed his senior colleagues about the plan to fire Nene and the bribe offer, Jonas says he saw no point in reporting it to the Hawks, or the police, as he believed the institutions to be seriously compromised at the time.
