He has been questioned about his alleged improper relationship with Matlala, a man he has previously described as both a friend and a brother.
Evidence leader Advocate Adila Hassim earlier referred Senona to media reports detailing Matlala’s alleged role in the controversial hospital tender.
But Senona maintains he has never seen any of the articles linking Matlala or his company, Medicare24, to the Tembisa Hospital scandal.
“If he shared these newspaper articles with me, they would have also been displayed in the bundle that the commission has given us. And then also, if I had shared with him, I came across any of these articles, it would have been found there that there is this communication between Mr Matlala and General Senona in relation to these newspaper articles.”
