The State Capture Commission hears Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa) related evidence from the former Group Chief Executive Officer, Lucky Montana. It is also expected to hear evidence from the Head of the Legal Division at Prasa, Martha Ngoye and employee, Tiro Holele.
Montana has explained how he instructed lawyer Riaan van der Walt to make payments from his company Precise Trade, but he said they were all related to a property sale of R6.8 million.
He said the commission should ask Van Der Walt because he was the one who made the payments.
But he is continuing to answer that in some instances Van Der Walt provided guarantees for him to buy other properties and others he paid as instructed.
“So there is R2 million for the bond cancellation, and a R2 million deposit and then there’s a third payment, which is basically paying for the F161.”
Montana also accused the State Capture Commission’s investigators of leaving out crucial evidence to advance the narrative that he stole money to buy properties.
He maintained that dealings between him and Van der Walt were not improper and that he bought properties before he worked for Prasa.
