UNCAPTURED, the true account of the Nenegate/ Trillian whistleblower

216pp., b/w & colour illus., paperback, Cape Town, 2021

Forewords by Thuli Madonsela and William Bourdon. 

Mosilo Mothepu was appointed CEO of Trillian Financial Advisory, a subsidiary of Gupta-linked Trillian Capital Partners, in March 2016. She resigned after three months, and was later identified as the author of a written statement handed to Public Protector Thuli Madonsela detailing Trillian’s involvement in state capture. The affidavit was leaked to the media and published in the Sunday Times in October 2016. Key to the disclosures were the removals of finance ministers Nhlanhla Nene and Pravin Gordhan from their posts due to the Guptas’ influence.
