Hogan says knowing that she declined the president’s offer to stop the process of appointment of a new chairperson for SAFCO, a forestry company, she knew that she would be reshuffled by the president.
Hogan says at the time she also declined the offer of being redeployed and also resigned as member of parliament.
On Monday she told the commission she was under enormous pressure when appointing Siyabonga Gama as Transnet CEO, saying she was labelled as an anti-transformation racist.
Hogan says former president Zuma would not hear of any candidate besides Siyabonga Gama to be appointed as Transnet CEO.
She says Zuma told her what to do although there is no envisaged
role for the president in the appointment of the board and CEO’s in
state-owned enterprises.
She says Transnet board had recommended Sipho Maseko as CEO when
former CEO Maria Ramos left in 2009 because Maseko is well-schooled in
all aspects of governance and he has integrity.
