Dudu Myeni's son grilled over R2m invoice at Zondo commission
The commission of inquiry into state capture has heard that R2 million was paid into Premier Attraction 1016, a company owned by Dudu Myeni's son Thalente.
He appeared before the commission on Monday.
Myeni was asked about the R2 million payment paid into his company account for a housing project in Mpumalanga in 2015 by a company called VNA consulting.
He told the commission VNA consulting paid his company for consultancy services in the planning around the housing project. However, he has no documents to back up the claim.

Advocate Kate Hofmeyr revealed that VNA consulting's version of events was that Premier Attraction 1016 was paid the money after withdrawing from the project and incurring costs.
Hofmeyr: "Your evidence a moment ago was that you don't receive payments prior to agreements being in place."
Myeni: "No, I never said agreements being in place but there has to be a reason in place. So the reason could have been, for instance, we have a verbal agreement and arrangement, where the scope of service is sent to us, we execute and get paid."
He told the commission because of the lapse in time he could not remember the details of the project.
"I cannot recall whether there is a written agreement or not, it is possible there could have been, but I cannot say for sure."
Hofmeyr said another witness, whose name cannot be revealed to the public because of threats to his life and that of his family members, will testify that Myeni's company was used to send money to another company that allegedly paid money to former president Jacob Zuma's foundation.
