On Monday the state is expected to call its last witness and judge president John Hlophe has repeatedly expressed his eagerness to conclude the trial.
Modibedi Phindela, secretary to the National Council of Provinces , had corroborated a small but — in the defence's narrative — significant aspect of its argument. Ntuthuzelo Vanara has accused former state security minister Bongani Bongo of offering him a bribe to stop or delay parliament’s inquiry into Eskom in October 2017.This small detail, Bongo asserts, is one of several facts the state's witnesses have conspired to omit as part of a narrative they have allegedly concocted to serve a political campaign against him led by “a certain faction in the governing party”.
Vanara testified that he immediately made contact with Phindela after his October 10 meeting with Bongo and told him he wanted to see him.
Then people will say political witch hunt
