Zuma: I don't remember insisting on Gama being appointed Transnet CEO

JOHANNESBURG – Former President Jacob Zuma's on Wednesday said former Siyabonga Gama was recommended to be the next Transnet CEO, at least from what he recalled.Zuma said while he may not remember the details of the list of Transnet CEO candidates, he did recall Gama’s name making the cut.Last year, former Public Enterprises Minister Barbara Hogan told the commission that Zuma often interfered in her work, and as a result, eroded her executive authority.

Hogan said another name, Telkom's current CEO Sipho Maseko, was put forward to be run Transnet but Zuma insisted that Gama be appointed. Despite not recalling the details, he said he couldn’t have insisted on Gama being the CEO because he that would have undermined the appointment process.
