Travelgate accused MP Jabu Elsie Sosibo, who claims she used rented vehicles only to travel to and from airports or for constituency activities, hired vehicles for 378 days during a period of 1 016 days.
This emerged in papers before the Cape High Court in which the liquidator of Business and Executive Travel - the agency Sosibo used to hire vehicles - has applied for Sosibo's sequestration, after she failed to pay for the cars she hired.
Liquidator Eileen Fey says Sosibo owes the travel agency about R240 000.
She has applied to the court for Sosibo's estate to be sequestrated.
Documents attached to Fey's affidavit revealed that Sosibo hired luxury cars for a day to 24 days at a time.
But Sosibo said she understood that MPs could rent cars for travel to and from airports and for constituency-based travel, such as community meetings, sectoral meetings and departmental meetings.
Sosibo said she was frequently requested to hand over more travel vouchers to cover her travel expenses, but that she did not know what travel agents did on her behalf.
She said she has no knowledge of the claims that were submitted to the secretary of parliament or in what respect they used my name in conducting their fraud.
Sosibo also slammed press coverage of the travel scam, saying the media had created the perception that certain public figures or officers were corrupt and operated mainly for private, nepotistic or financial benefit.
What possible benefit would I have gained as a participant of the scam, taking into account that I used the rented vehicles only to travel to and from airports and for constituency and related-activity car travel? she asked.
She said the only relationship she had with travel agents was through the exchange of vouchers and nothing more.
To date, I have not used up more than my quota of travel vouchers, said Sosibo.
The sequestration application did not proceed in the Cape High Court on Tuesday after the parties managed to negotiate a settlement.
Fey's attorney Bernhard Kurz said the money would be paid through a third party and that the application would be withdrawn.
