Former Minister of Water and Sanitation, Nomvula Mokonyane has told the State Capture Inquiry she wants to challenge claims by ex-Bosasa COO, Angelo Agrizzi that she received cash payments from the company.
"It is Agrizzi's intention to really rub in a perception that has been fed over time about the kind of person that they want to project to society against the person that I am.
She added that he claimed to have been there when she was given cash, this claim she is contesting and challenging
In his testimony, Agrizzi alleged Mokonyane was among the politicians and senior government officials who received bribes and other favours from Bosasa.
Mokanyane is responding to these allegations.

She asked to make an opening statement before being questioned and has denied Bosasa paid for the funerals of some of her family members.
"In my personal attack and vilification, I take serious exception, find it insensitive for Agrizzi to claim that they paid the cost for the burial of my son and my family," she said.
"He even confuses the names of my sons, as to who has passed on and who has had a drug problem. Precisely because he has other alternative motives of which I do not know."
