Mokonaye received the money and other benefits for several years while she was serving in her previous posts as safety and security minister in the central Gauteng province and as South Africa’s water minister, Angelo Agrizzi told a judicial commission that’s probing graft during former President Jacob Zuma’s rule. Bosasa derived little benefit from the payments, he said.
Mokonyane denied ever having received the payments, according to Johannesburg’s Sunday Times newspaper, which reported on them on Sunday. DM
