Former Transport Minister Dipuo Peters testifies at the State Capture Commission.
She will be giving evidence related to allegations of corruption at Prasa.
Former Board chairperson Popo Molefe is also expected on the stand.
Peters said that she attended a meeting called by former President Jacob Zuma where Lucky Montana’s reinstatement was discussed.
But she denied that Zuma specifically instructed board chair Popo Molefe to reinstate Montana.
Molefe told the commission that he asked Zuma to tell the board in person, but Zuma wasn’t happy about that.
Peters said that she never interfered with procurement processes in the state-owned institutions under her watch, including Prasa.
“…And at that meeting, I never got the impression that there is a conscious decision by President Zuma that Mr Lucky Montana must return to his position, which he had resigned from.”
