They charged me to prevent me from Transnet executive position â Siyabonga Gama
Share
Johannesburg - Former Transnet chief executive officer Siyabonga Gama has told the Commission of Inquiry into state capture that his disciplinary charges in 2009 at the freight rail agency were a ploy to prevent him from succeeding Maria Ramos as the GCEO.
Gama was reacting to questions posed by the evidence leader advocate Anton Myburgh that his reinstatement to the post as CEO in April 2011 had been politically motivated and former president Jacob Zuma was behind it.
Advocate Myburgh based his questions on the testimony of former Public Enterprise Minister Barbara Hogan who testified about her short spell as minister in May 2009.
