A boundary wall erected at former police minister Nathi Mthethwa's private residence in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) was allegedly paid for from a Crime Intelligence (CI) slush fund, the Zondo commission of inquiry into state capture has heard.
Whistleblower Colonel Dhanajaya Naidoo revealed this at the Commission on Wednesday. He is testifying about alleged looting of the secret service account (SSA) within CI.
"I was informed by Lazarus that we needed to do upgrades at the minister's house. I am not sure where the instruction came from. This was to put up a boundary wall at the minister's home, I was given the instruction by Lazarus, and he received an instruction from General Mdluli," he explained.
Naidoo was referring to the former chief financial officer (CFO) of Intelligence, General Solly Lazarus and former Intelligence head, Richard Mdluli.
