Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, in the third report into state capture, said the evidence that stood out was that Gwede Mantashe was seen by the leadership of Bosasa as a “brilliant connection”

Mineral Resources and Energy minister Gwede Mantashe should be probed for corruption after he received security installations for no charge from facilities management company Bosasa, according to the latest report from the state capture commission of inquiry.

“There are reasonable grounds for suspecting that Mantashe accepted or agreed to accept gratification,” reads the report. Mantashe had told the commission during his witness testimony that his receipt of the cameras in three properties in Gauteng and the Eastern Cape was an entirely innocent one, borne out of arrangements made between his security person, Mzonke Nyakaza, and a family friend, Papa Leshabane – who was then a director at Bosasa.Mantashe also downplayed his capacity for influence while ANC secretary-general, characterising the position as “the secretary-general of an NGO called the ANC”.

He said Leshabane, despite being served with a notice, had not come forward to testify that this arrangement was “different from the others and was an altruistic attempt on his part at assisting a family friend”. “Whilst the value of the installations may be in dispute, the fact of the installations, and the fact that they were not paid for by Mantashe, is common cause,” said Zondo.
