Johannesburg - Former ANC Greater Johannesburg Region and City of Joburg mayor Geoff Makhubo says he canât answer why technology company EOH sent him business proposals that did not concern him.
He has also denied that the timing of the emails were suspicious considering it was shortly after EOHâs former business development executive, Patrick Makubedu, made considerable donations to the ANC.
Makhubo is currently giving evidence at the State Capture Commission of Inquiry.
Evidence leader advocate Matthew Chaskalson put it to Makhubo that Makubedu made donations to the ANC in the previous weeks and saved Makhubo's own consulting business, Molelwane, from cash-flow difficulties, âand in that context he thought he might ask your assistance in relation to a pending EOH networking proposalâ.
