FOI - VBS banker Robert Madzonga [Feb 2021]

Key information

Request reference number: MGLA150121-3984

Date of response:

Summary of request

It has been reported that former VBS banker Robert Madzonga has given testimony to South African investigators that he and other former VBS executives had dinner with Mr Khan in the summer of 2017. Mr Madzonga stated that also at the dinner was Angolan banker Alvaro Sobrinho. Other former VBS linked individuals at the dinner were said to be Danny Msiza, Joseph Malukeke, Kabelo Matsepe, Tshifhiwa Matodzi and Andile Ramavhunga.

 

I have checked Mr Khan's official diary and it does not include any mention of this dinner. It seems it would have been in late July or early August 2017.

 

Please can you tell me the day of the dinner and provide a list of all of those present. Where did it take place? Who booked the dinner? Who paid for it? If it was paid for by Mr Khan, did he claim it on expenses and if so how much was it?

 

What was the purpose of the dinner? What was discussed?

 

Please can you tell me how many times in total Mr Khan has met Mr Sobrinho. Please provide dates and locations of these meetings. What was the purpose of these meetings if there were any?
