Papador

Major Phiri testified that payments on 20 May 2023 in his bank account originated from amounts associated with a person called Papi Mogashoa and companies linked to him, including Papador where William Masupye is a director.

“He testified that these amounts are from a person called Papi Mogashoa ... Papador ... Mr Masupye is a director of Papador ... making payments to Mr Phiri under the directorship of William Masupye.”

There are payments amounting to R3.9 million and R5.9 million involving Gubis and other entities including Mr Calvin Mahlangu and Papador.

“there is an amount of 3,9 million. Again, that comes from Gubis. And similarly, you will see that Mr Calvin Mahlangu's name also features. And lastly, Papador, which also made payment to Mr Phiri, also received, at least on the face of it, 5.9 million, or at least there was an exchange of 5.9 million between Papador and Gubis”

Major Phiri states that businessmen refer to loans as 'services rendered' possibly for tax reasons, but he has never rendered a service for Papador and considers these loans as money lent, not a service.
