Deputy Minister of State Security Zizi Kodwa says he would not like to make parallel comments outside the State Capture Commission.
He was responding to allegations that surfaced at the commission on Tuesday that he received payments and luxury accommodation of well over R2 million from IT company – EOH – while he was African National Congress (ANC) Spokesperson.
Managing Director of ENSafrica Forensic Steven Powell said the monies were paid into Kodwa’s account between 2015 and 2016 from EOH Executive Jehan MacKay.
Powell alleges that during that time three contracts were awarded to the company.
[Earlier] Powel told the commission that Email evidence and financial data show that over the period May 2015 to February 2016 Zizi Kodwa (‘Kodwa’) received direct payments and luxury accommodation with a combined value of more than R2 million. #StateCaptureInquiry
