Kebby Maphatsoe

Kebby Maphatsoe is a figure who entered Parliament on 15 June 2019, taking up a seat after Jeff Gadebe resigned. In testimony before the commission, he was described as an uncle figure to Tumelo Nku, with witnesses noting he was active in Nku’s affairs. Maphatsoe faced questions about his alleged involvement in facilitating a consignment movement, with Nku testifying that around May 2021, Maphatsoe informed him that a party called Iby required assistance with the matter. The exact nature and purpose of this introduction were probed by the chairperson, who sought clarification on what Maphatsoe had said and for what end, leaving the details of his role subject to scrutiny.
