Transnet’s former board chairperson, Mafika Mkwanazi, will continue his testimony at the state capture inquiry on Monday.
The former advisor to Minister Malusi Gigaba, Siyabonga Mahlangu is also expected to testify.
Mkhwanazi argued that Gama was not granted an opportunity to apply for a deviation, but Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo told him that as a senior executive, Gama should have known that he had to apply for a deviation in advance.
And on Friday afternoon he tried to worm his way out of a conversation he had with Gigaba, which appears to be the reason that Gama was reinstated
“Is whether there was any member of Cabinet who played any role in the matter being settled?” asked Myburgh.
“If you put it that way, then definitely Mr Gigaba in my interaction with him at the end of October played a role that said can you review this matter, but not necessarily the actual settlement agreement,” said Mkhwanazi.
