Western Cape High Court Judge John Hlophe highlighted a discrepancy in one witness’s testimony.

Western Cape High Court Judge President John Hlophe says the evidence given by two key state witnesses in the corruption trial of ANC MP Bongani Bongo doesn’t add up.

Proceedings started with Phindela testifying that Ntuthuzela Vanara, the evidence leader at the inquiry, told him Bongo offered him a bribe. “Your version and his version… it [your version] flies in the face of his version. Because he said that Mr Vanara said he was offered a bribe. That’s all he said. Can you help me understand your evidence as it conflicts with Mr Phindela.”Xaso and Phindela agreed to inform Twaya, which they did while at their workshop in Stellenbosch.
