Former public enterprises minister Lynne Brown plans to respond to allegations made against her at the weekend at the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture.
Babadi Tlatsana, director of implicated company Koroneka Trading and Projects, told the inquiry on Saturday that former SA Express general manager Brian van Wyk told her millions of rands in seemingly illicit payments had to be made to former ministers, including Brown and Dipuo Peters, formerly in charge of the transport department.
Tlatsana also named several prominent ANC members while detailing the alleged capture of her company.
The inquiry sat for the first time on a Saturday to hear Tlatsana’s testimony, which she began by implicating Van Wyk. She claimed Van Wyk told her that R20 million had to be paid to both Peters and Brown.
