Patricia de Lille, PAC MP, will again appear before prosecuting authorities in Cape Town today in terms of a subpoena to disclose information about the multi-billion rand arms deal.  

De Lille, along with Thami ka Plaatjie, the party's secretary-general, first met with investigator Gerda Ferreira in a marathon five-hour meeting on May 3. After that meeting De Lille said she wanted assurances from the investigating team that she would not be forced to disclose her sources about alleged corruption in the arms deal.  

The joint arms procurement investigating team alleged last month that she was not sharing information with investigators and was interfering with the official probe by making unsubstantiated claims to the media.

De Lille has repeatedly claimed irregularities in the arms deal involving senior ANC members and has given her information to corruption buster judge Willem Heath, who was later controversially excluded from the multi-agency probe into the deal.  

In April De Lille also claimed that another senior ANC member would be exposed by the media, following newspaper articles suggesting Tony Yengeni, the ANC chief whip, had received a luxury vehicle as a kickback from a company involved in the arms deal. 

De Lille said she would meet with Ferreira to find out what more the investigating team wanted from her. She handed over all her documentation on the arms deal to the Heath Special Investigating unit, and these were subsequently transferred to the investigating team on February 6. 

Ferreira is expected to report back on some of the concerns raised by the PAC during the previous meeting, including whether De Lille would be expected to name her sources. 

De Lille has repeatedly said she was not prepared to reveal the sources of her information regarding allegations of corruption in the deal.
