Appears that Willemse was a big beneficiary from a very shady deal. Clearly he is a corrupt ANC acolyte on the gravy train and now wants to use the race card to get Naas and Mallet fired. My guess is he could well succeed. Willemse is a real racist scumbag.
From the link provided by Draad above:
Mining house Gold Fields allowed ex-con Gayton McKenzie to pack its 2010 empowerment consortium with a dizzying array of his colleagues, family, neighbours and friends – including a R61-million stake to Danny Smith, who has had serious brushes with the law.
Smith's was one of the four largest individual stakes, despite the fact that he admitted to amaBhungane that he "didn't bring any" value to the deal (see below: "Inside McKenzie's inner circle of cronies who pocketed millions" and "I'm clean, says 'gangster' Smith").
AmaBhungane's calculations show McKenzie's associates were handed benefits worth more than R330-million, a substantial part of the R2.1-billion black economic empowerment (BEE) deal. This suggests the company either did not properly vet the transaction or knowingly embraced the enrichment of its consultant's cronies.
But it is likely to have serious implications for the company in the United States, where it is listed and is already being investigated by regulatory authorities for alleged transgressions in the same deal
Ashwin Willemse (R61.4-million) and Jerome Brauns (R61.4-million)
Willemse, a former Springbok rugby player, and Brauns were McKenzie's business partners and helped Gold Fields to structure its 2010 empowerment deal.
Numerous sources said McKenzie had stayed at Willemse's house while they worked on the deal.
Brauns, who once served as President Jacob Zuma's lawyer, knew McKenzie from when they were involved in the Jali commission on prison corruption. Brauns was an investigator for the commission, at which McKenzie testified.
McKenzie and Brauns maintained a working relationship at least until the end of 2010, when the Gold Fields deal was completed.
Neither Brauns nor Willemse responded to questions.
