Mentor continuing to give her evidence at the commission in Parktown, Johannesburg.

Former ANC member of parliament Vytjie Mentor has testified at the State Capture Inquiry. Mentor is one of the people who were interviewed by former public protector Thuli Madonsela in her investigation into state capture.  Mentor’s testimony comes just days after former deputy finance minister Mcebisi Jonas testified that in October 2015, Ajay Gupta had offered him a bribe of R 600 million rand and the position of finance minister, two months before Nhlanhla Nene was removed from the position. A

Mentor has revealed more details about how the politically connected Gupta family offered her the position of public enterprises minister back in 2010. This was apparently in exchange for cancelling the South African Airways route to India. The cancellation of this route was allegedly set to benefit India-based Jet Airways and Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Airways. Mentor first revealed the alleged Gupta bribe in a Facebook post in March 2016. She further claimed that former president Jacob Zuma was in another room when she was offered the job at the Gupta home in Saxonworld. In her report Madonsela said Mentor told her that Zuma did not appear angry that she had declined the offer.
