Canny MaphangaFormer Treasury DG and Van Rooyen's lawyer went back and forth over the appointment of the adviser and chief of staff.
Mathipa put it to Fuzile that Bobat was first introduced to him by Van Rooyen as his special advisor, during Van Rooyen's swearing-in ceremony at the Union Buildings. Van Rooyen then asked Fuzile to"expedite" Bobat's appointment, the commission heard on Tuesday. "But the difference, though, is that when you went to testify at the commission, you then said he [Van Rooyen] confused their positions, in his very office.
Mathipa stood his ground, insisting Fuzile's claims of Van Rooyen confusing the roles of both men was not true, and put it to him that he had lied to the commission.Fuzile also dug in his heels, saying the fact that he only mentioned the 'confusing' once in his statement did not mean it had not happened on other occasions.
