Former environmental affairs minister Nomvula Mokonyane acquired a luxurious Aston Martin vehicle through a “business arrangement” from a family friend, the state capture inquiry heard on Thursday.
She said she and her husband met with two family friends, one identified as Thaba Mofumadi, who agreed to pay the deposit for the car.
Mokonyane said she, however, felt the need to contribute towards the vehicle because “I have my own pride”. “We are a family that has got friends who understood our pain of always being deprived of opportunities. Asked if the arrangement was contained in a document, Mokonyane stuttered and argued it would have been between the trio.“My take is that if we get through that Eskom deal, finally, surely, they will be invited to be a part of it. We will have to pay him back if this thing does not go anywhere,” responded Mokonyane.
