Mr Matla’s appearance before the PAC was open to the public and the session was chaired by National Independent Party (NIP) leader, Kimetso Mathaba. Ms Ntobaki’s testimony was captured in camera on Tuesday because she is one of the key state witnesses in the South African court case between the government and Frazer Solar. Messrs Matla, Tšolo and the latter’s former secretary ‘Masentle Ntobaki are some of the people who have been lined up to testify. The PAC wants to establish who actually signed the deal on behalf of the state, especially as Mr Tšolo hotly denies appending his signature. The PAC has launched its own investigations into the deal and former and current government officials have been lined up to testify. Mr Sopeng told parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) that Mr Tšolo had made it clear that the deal had the blessings of the then Prime Minister Thabane.
The company insists it had a valid agreement that was signed by Mr Tšolo and the project was not implemented due to current Prime Minister Moeketsi Majoro’s dogged refusal to sign the financing agreement when he was finance minister under the Thabane government.ĭespite his denials, Mr Tšolo was last month named by Energy and Meteorology Principal Secretary, Themba Sopeng, as the man who approved the deal. This for allegedly breaching a 2018 contract the company claims to have entered into with Mr Thabane’s government for the supply of solar water heating systems, solar generated electricity, LED lights and solar lanterns over four years. Mr Tšolo has previously denied appending his signature to the controversial deal which has resulted in the government being ordered by a South arbitrator to pay off £50 million (M856 million) in damages to Frazer Solar. He said Mr Tšolo had been equally surprised when he told him that he had seen his “signature” on the contract. He said the voluminous contract also bore the signatures of Frazer Solar owner, Robert Frazer, and the former Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office, Temeki Tšolo. He said a fortnight ago he was shocked when Directorate on Corruption and Economic Offences (DCEO) investigators showed him a “voluminous contract” which he allegedly signed as a witness to a supply agreement between the government and Frazer Solar. Mr Matla said all he ever did was to append his signature as a witness “to a two-page letter transferring the project from the Prime Minister’s Office to Ministry of Development Planning”. The former aide, Hlophe Matla, made the claim while testifying before parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) this week. This after a former aide of Mr Thabane, alleged that his signature on the controversial deal was forged by unknown people. THE mystery surrounding the previous Thomas Thabane government’s botched M1, 7 billion solar energy deal with German Company, Frazer Solar, deepened this week.
