The woman behind a week-old company that won a R1m tender will have to spend the next two days in the house of her cousin who turned state witness.
Nokuzola Mafunda, owner of Ithani Amen, stunned the Pretoria Specialised Crime Court on Thursday when, after she was granted bail of R10,000 and told not to talk to witnesses, brought to the magistrates attention that she lives with one of the state witnesses, her cousin.
Through her lawyer, she further explained that she lives in the Eastern Cape but would reside in her cousins house whenever she is in Gauteng. She said she would stay at her cousins house until she returns to the Eastern Cape on Saturday.
