Former Minister of the Department of Public Enterprises, Lynne Brown is set to continue her testimony at the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture on Monday. 


Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo is continuing the hearings on the Human Rights Day public holiday after asking for an extension of the Commission's timeframes given the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. 


Brown testified at the commission last week and said that she left active politics due to the allegations against her.


Brown is alleged to have been involved in corruption at state-owned enterprises during her time in Cabinet.


She was dealing with Eskom-related allegations. 


Former Eskom board chairperson Zola Tsotsi alleged she was working with Gupta associate-Salim Esss in running Eskom. 


Brown resigned as an African National Congress (ANC) MP in March 2018, four days after she was axed from Cabinet.

"The attacks dealt with people who had nothing to do with my work, family, and friends,” she told the commission on Friday.


If I were to read everything I read in the papers I wouldn't be surprised if everyone thought I lived in a palace with a couple of sports cars in my basement, a house built by the Gupta, and a whole lot of Gucci.”
