Johannesburg - The former chief executive of Gupta-linked Trillian Management Consulting feared having to take responsibility for a R300 million Bank of Baroda overdraft facility for generations.
Bianca Goodson told the commission of inquiry into state capture on Thursday that investment management firm Integrated Capital Management director Clive Angel, who recruited her to be Trillian Management Consulting chief executive, wanted her to sign a Bank of Baroda overdraft facility the day before she resigned with immediate effect.
She said on March 18, 2016, Angel instructed her to sign some letters and send them back to another Integrated Capital Management director Mark Chipkin.

FORMER co-operative governance minister Des van Rooyen helped a Gupta-linked company get tenders with his department.
Former Trillian Management Consulting CEO Bianca Goodson told the Commission yesterday the company received a tender it had not asked for from the department in March 2016.
She said it was sent to her by Van Rooyen’s adviser Mohamed Bobat, who worked for Trillian before joining his team when he was appointed finance minister in 2015.
Goodson said at the time Trillian had no staff members or history as it was only eight days old. She said she’d get timeline expectations and budget information from Bobat to ensure the company proposals were received favourably.
