Barbara Hogan expected to testify at #Statecaptureinquiry

The inquiry into state capture resumes on Monday. Former Minister of Public Enterprises Barbara Hogan is expected to take the stand. Hogan’s submissions to the state capture inquiry total over 300 pages.

Her testimony directly implicates former president Jacob Zuma.

On Monday, she’s likely to detail pressure to forego South African Airways’ route to India.

Next on the witness list is current Minister of Public Enterprises Pravin Gordhan, who is expected to testify on Thursday.

A leaked copy of his 69-page statement to the inquiry has caused a ruckus.

Inquiry chair Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo has reprimanded those responsible for the leak.

Last week, the Economic Freedom Fighters reported Gordhan to the Public Protector.

The red berets accuse him of lying about a meeting with billionaire Mukesh Ambani and Ajay Gupta.
