The forensic auditor investigating Durban businessman Schabir Shaik's finances found no indication of money paid to the African National Congress in the books of the company that Shaik said he had set up for this purpose.

"Yesterday it was put to me that Floryn Investments was the vehicle Shaik used for contributions to the ANC. I have researched my files and found two financial statements from Floryn Investments, both signed by Shaik," Johan van der Walt said on Tuesday.

He then explained that as far as he could ascertain, Floryn Investments was a dormant company.

"If Floryn was the vehicle to make payments to the ANC one would expect to see them reflected in their annual financial statements," Van der Walt said
