Episode Notes

RIGHT OF REPLY

Wagner strongly denied any impropriety. He remained adamant that Midtownbrace had made a legitimate investment in Montana’s townhouse development: “I deny any insinuation and/or allegation that Midtownbrace is part of alleged corruption and money laundering or that any TMM dealings was done via Midtownbrace,” stated Wagner.
Siyangena Technologies said it noted from the SIU’s court papers that no relief is being sought against the company. “As the matter is sub judice it would be inappropriate for us to comment any further,” the company stated.
Lucky Montana did not respond to requests for comment.
Van der Walt reportedly moved to Texas in the United States around the time of the Zondo Commission and could not be reached for comment.
