Transnet extraction — where and how Gupta bribes were paid to Big Four accused
Former Transnet CEO Brian Molefe, CFO Anoj Singh, head of freight rail Siyabonga Gama and chief engineer Thamsanqa Jiyane face charges related to enrichment through corruption. The charge sheet in the largest quantum State Capture case, enrolled by the Independent Directorate Against Corruption (Idac), details a map of where bribes were paid to the four former Transnet executives now facing a quartet of charges related to their role in repurposing the rail utility for extraction worth billions of rands. Former Transnet CEO Brian Molefe, CFO Anoj Singh, head of freight rail Siyabonga Gama and chief engineer Thamsanqa Jiyane face charges related to enrichment through corruption. The four, out on bail of R50,000 each, face charges under four laws, including the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act. Idac alleges that the Gupta brothers, Atul, Rajesh and Ajay, paid the four in cash through deliveries, foreign trips and transactions via Gupta-linked entities and companies. While much of the detail was ventilated in proceedings at the Zondo Commission of Inquiry into State Capture, the charges add new legal heft. The State alleges that cash payments were made at: The Guptas' residence in Saxonwold; The Midrand offices of the family's IT company, Sahara; Salim Essa's Melrose Arch apartment and; The Maslow hotel in Sandton. In addition, Atul Gupta transferred funds from several Gupta-controlled companies, which facilitated the bribes, including Oakbay Investments, Westdawn Investments, VR Laser Services, Confident Concept, Tegeta Exploration and Islandsite Investments. Money flow experts, including Paul Holden of Open Secrets, testified to the commission about how the Guptas utilised layers of companies to launder money and facilitate transfer fees. Singh was enriched to the extent that, the commission heard, he did not spend his Transnet salary, but banked it for years. He was allegedly paid at Saxonwold and took many Gupta-sponsored trips to Dubai, to where the brothers and their families had fled. Molefe allegedly received cash at the Gupta residence and at Sahara Computers, where he would pop in for the family's office lunches. Gama was reportedly paid at the Guptas' Saxonwold residence and family acolyte Salim Essa's Melrose Arch apartment, while Jiyane was allegedly paid at The Maslow hotel. Investigators for the State Capture Commission triangulated travel times. They had witnesses who corroborated many of the payments, and this evidence will be used by Idac when the trial begins. The next court date is 6 October. Money trail The charge sheets detail the following bribe money trail against Singh, Molefe, Gama and Jiyane: Singh 'Between January 2014 and April 2015, Mr Singh had attended meetings at the Gupta Saxonwold residence on at least 10 occasions. [He] would generally take a sports bag with him when he attended the meetings. He would emerge from the residence carrying the sports bag, which would be placed in the boot of the vehicle driven by his Close Protection Officer (CPO). It was later discovered that the sports bags contained large amounts of cash. 'On at least six or seven occasions he would instruct his driver to take him to Knox Vaults, a secure storage facility in Killarney, Johannesburg that provided safe deposit boxes. He would thereafter remove the bag from the boot of the vehicle and enter Knox Vaults carrying the bag.' The charge sheet also details all of Singh's sponsored trips to Dubai. Molefe '[Molefe] would generally take a light brown backpack or sports bag with him when he attended meetings held at these venues. After the said meetings he would emerge carrying the aforementioned bags, which were placed inside the boot of the vehicle driven by his CPO. These CPOs later discovered that the bags contained large amounts of cash.' Gama The charge sheet says that Gama attended many meetings at Saxonwold. 'During November 2016, on one of the visits at the Gupta Saxonwold residence, a person emerged carrying a suitcase, which was placed into the boot of the vehicle, which was driven by his CPO. These CPOs later discovered that the suitcase contained a large amount of cash when Gama left the premises. The charge sheet also details how Gama twice picked up 'parcels' from Essa at Melrose Arch, while Jiyane allegedly took possession of the suitcase, which Gama is alleged to have collected at Saxonwold, at The Maslow hotel, where the two met. The State will argue that all four received unlawful gratification and committed fraud at Transnet, thereby violating the Companies Act and the Public Finance Management Act. The chart below shows Idac's progress on State Capture cases identified by the Zondo Commission. The National Prosecuting Authority's Asset Forfeiture Unit, under the leadership of Ouma Rabaji-Rasethaba, has recovered R15-billion in State Capture loot, some of which has been returned to Transnet.

Exclusive: Transnet State Capture Big Four face 32 charges of corruption, fraud and of being delinquent directors
The charge sheet details how contracts were inflated by at least R18-billion, revealing how and where bribes were paid. Fourteen years ago, there was no stopping the Transnet Big Four executives – CEO Brian Molefe, his CFO Anoj Singh, the head of freight rail Siyabonga Gama and chief engineer Thamsanqa Jiyane. As the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture heard, the four were all powerful mandarins of the state corporation. They did not defer to the board, nor Transnet's treasury, nor to its bid adjudication committees, as they rushed through a locomotive acquisition that would ultimately cost South Africa billions of rands in inflated costs and multiple times more in lost opportunities as rail went to the wall. Now the four face 32 charges contained in a charge sheet brought against them by the Independent Directorate Against Corruption (Idac) as it gets to grips with prosecuting the State Capture cases at the rail utility. The charge sheet reveals that the Idac has alleged fraud, corruption and violations of the Public Finance Management Act and the Companies Act against the four, with a trial set to begin in October. Arrested this week, all four are out on bail of R50,000 each and have surrendered their passports. All four pleaded poverty and said they could not afford the original bail request of R200,000 each when they appeared in the Palm Ridge Court on Monday, 30 June. Two, Molefe and Gama, are MPs in former President Jacob Zuma's MK party. The charges brought under a quartet of laws seek to prosecute them from four angles, including dereliction of corporate and constitutional duty (charges under the Public Finance Management Act and the Companies Act) as well as fraud and corruption under the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act (Precca). Here are the numbers of charges each faces, comprising variations of contraventions of the four laws. Anoj Singh (13); Molefe (10); Gama (6); and Jiyane (3). The four are accused of acting in concert (using a common purpose prosecution) to defraud Transnet and are alleged to have benefited through bribes detailed in the charge sheet and also ventilated in hearings at the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture. It all started in 2011, two years after President Jacob Zuma took office, as State Capture extended its claws into the parastatals Eskom, Transnet and Denel. Also involved were their SA acolytes, the businessmen Salim Essa and Iqbal Meer (who chaired Transnet's acquisitions board committee), and the Gupta family that later installed Molefe as CEO and had Singh and Gama in their pockets, the State Capture inquiry heard. The criminal charges against the four traverse the same ground as the Commission, but it has taken time to formulate the package of charges each now faces. Rolling stock bonanza In 2011, Transnet decided to boost rail freight demand by re-kitting its rolling stock. Over the next four years, the four allegedly conspired to favour the Chinese Rail Corporation (CRC), which was then divided into the China South Rail and China North Rail divisions. Essa earned handsome commissions for putting together this deal, the commission heard. Molefe, for example, was found by the commission to have ensured that the company did not have to meet the BEE conditions required of other suppliers. The Transnet whistle-blower, Francis Callard, detailed to the State Capture commission how the Japanese supplier, Mitsui, was elbowed aside in a series of corporate manoeuvres, and he was often kept in the dark. In 2014, Molefe and Singh signed off on contracts without board or government approval, and soon the costs ballooned from an initial R38.6-billion to R54.5-billion. The charge sheet details how, in each tranche of the three-phase transaction, payments exceeded agreed costs by almost R20-billion. The charge sheet details these as follows: in the first 95 locomotive transactions, a payment of R3.4-billion overshot the approved contract value by R231-million. In the 100-locomotive transaction, a payment of R5.18-billion exceeded the approved value by R348-million. In the big-ticket purchase of 1,064 locomotives, Transnet suffered a prejudice (loss) of R18.7-billion. Transnet is also alleged to have lost an additional R368-million in a botched relocation of an assembly line to Durban. Transnet is being steadily repaired by a combination of a new executive team led by CEO Michelle Philips, the Operation Vula team in the Presidency, and the secondment of seasoned rail and logistics executives from business through the B4SA partnership. However, it remains hobbled because many of the trains at the centre of the State Capture case are not operational, resulting in rail volumes that are significantly lower than they should be to transport the freight company to its desired destination. Between 2012 and 2015, the four are alleged to have benefited from cash and benefits from the Gupta family, including trips to Dubai and cash payments from Saxonwold. The family's mansion complex (3, 5, and 7 Saxonwold Drive) is being auctioned through Park Village Auctions on 24 July. Molefe, Singh, and Gama were also arrested in August 2022 in connection with a R93-million payment to Trillian Capital (a Gupta company run by the flamboyant businessman Eric Wood) for one of the locomotive transactions. That case is scheduled to come to court in February 2026, while the proceedings against the Big Four have been postponed to October 2025. DM
