According to her, she met Essa only once where “I shook his hand” — otherwise, she said, “I do not know the fellow.”
This despite Essa having told people that he was Brown's adviser.
One such occasion of Essa dropping Brown's name, ex-Eskom company secretary Suzanne Daniels previously testified at the Zondo commission, was during a meeting at Melrose Arch when Daniels was with former Eskom executive Matshela Koko.
