The lawyer of former Transnet CEO Siyabonga Gama, who is implicated in a R398.4 million Transnet fraud and corruption case, has blamed the state for unreasonably delaying the matter. | iavanpijoos

Advocate Kenny Oldwage told a Specialised Commercial Crimes Court sitting in Palm Ridge on Thursday that he would not tolerate the"unreasonable delay" by the state, which sought to postpone the matter by three more months.

Masiakwala said there had been"back-and-forth" discussions between the state and the defence, and all requests had been attended to. But Oldwage said the state submitted further documents late on Wednesday night, adding that he did not have time to consider what this additional documentation comprised.

There are 18 parties involved if the companies that stand charged are included. Among these are top advisory firms McKinsey & Company SA and the Gupta-linked Trillian Asset Management and Regiments.
