The former labour minister dismissed parts of Mzwanele Manyi's evidence at the inquiry, denying she met him before being sworn into the position in November 2010.
Manyi, who was DG of the department at the time, previously told the commission he had met Oliphant at Johannesburg's OR Tambo International Airport on November 3 2010, where they had discussed his dismissal from the DG position.
