It's a bit expensive but it does work to show us who the criminals are. The only problem is now the NPA are too scared to actually prosecute anyone because they are all politically connected.

I see that you are pointing out that you called it. If you take a binary position on something, what are the chances of you proven right and what are the chances of you proven wrong?

In this case, he had a 99% chance of being right, and it turns out he was.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

Unfortunately common sense is an oxymoron locally.

Not sure he's going to tell anything but tales. This is the guy who presided over the worst corruption in intelligence services and worked hard to protect the looters, subvert any attempt at holding them to account and then also fabricated evidence against those trying to do good so they can be worked out of positions.

And his lawyer just happens to also be Zuma's lawyer, I am sure that is just a wonderful coincidence.
 
Her testimony was headline news on SABC TV last night. A terrible and unconvincing witness:

Ramaphosa fires up NPA and Zondo collaboration

New regulations allow evidence from the Zondo commission to be accessed and used by law enforcement agencies, such as the NPA
www.businesslive.co.za www.businesslive.co.za

President Cyril Ramaphosa amended the regulations of the Zondo commission on Tuesday, to make it possible for law enforcement agencies to access the information and evidence obtained by the inquiry’s investigators.

The amendment is intended to enhance the work of investigators and prosecutors and speed up the process of prosecutions of those involved in corruption during the Jacob Zuma administration. Commission staff were, until now, bound to secrecy and prohibited from sharing the information they obtained in the course of their work, even with law enforcement agencies.

The regulations now allow information, records or documents to be shared with any state law enforcement agency in SA.

...

The amendment itself has taken inexplicably long to formulate and has been more than year in the making. When the state-capture commission of inquiry, led by deputy chief justice Raymond Zondo, was established in 2018, the regulations gazetted were based on those of previous commissions that took place under different circumstances.
