CLAIMS by President Jacob Zuma’s legal adviser Michael Hulley that he had limited involvement in Aurora Empowerment Systems were false, an attorney for the company's liquidators told MPs yesterday. Briefing Parliament's mineral resources portfolio committee, John Walker said court documents indicate that Hulley “was in fact a director” in the failed business from which Pamodzi is claiming R1.92 billion. This follows two months after former Aurora director Thulani Ngubane alleged in papers filed at the High Court in Pretoria that Hulley had set up a meeting between President Jacob Zuma and potential Chinese backers for Aurora. Walker said however that claims by Khulubuse Zuma, the president's nephew, that he was not deeply involved in Aurora appeared to be accurate.
