FORMER Prasa CEO Lucky Montana has denied allegations that he sold his houses to cover up his involvement in criminal activities.
He said the claims were based on lies and there was a campaign to portray him as a corrupt person. He told the Zondo Commission yesterday he was surprised that the story was not changing despite new facts emerging.
Investigator Clint Oellermann alleged that Montana bought three properties for a total of more than R36 million between 2014 and 2016.
He claimed the properties were funded through Riaan van der Walt, an attorney who acted for Riyangena Technologies, which won an unlawful tender worth R2,4 million.

Johannesburg - Former Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa) group chief executive Lucky Montana has called on evidence leader Advocate Vas Soni to recuse himself from the Zondo Commission following a line of questioning regarding Montana s properties.
The former Prasa boss became hostile on his sixth day of testimony. “I find myself dealing with an evidence leader who doesn t want to assist the commission.
