On Wednesday, Jonathan Bloom, an expert in financial risk management, testified before the commission. Bloom was contracted by MNS Attorneys to help them in their investigation into irregularities at Transnet. 

He revealed that Transnet lost out on hundreds of millions of rands due to a controversial 2015 decision to swap interest fees on a multibillion-rand loan to finance the state-owned enterprise's procurement of 1,064 locomotives.
