I was thinking criminal prosecutions and sentencing would be underway by December but I’m beginning to think that’s unlikely. At the rate they going I’m wondering if Zuma will die of natural causes before they get him to criminal sentencing.

Looks like their lack of substance has caught up with them.

In March, Moyane's lawyer, Dali Mpofu, in arguing for leave to cross-examine Gordhan, alleged that the minister was racist towards Moyane and referred to a phone call in which Gordhan allegedly told Moyane to “grow up”.

Mpofu argued that this amounts to racism, because it implies that Moyane is a “boy”. He claimed Gordhan's affidavit was “more significant for what it omits than what it says”.

What a complete buffoon. How he ever got to run SARS is a travesty. The man is so pathetic it beggars belief that he ever deserved the spot he was in.

Fokkit so now its racist to tell someone to grow up or to stop acting like a boy? Grasping at straws here guys, but keep at it, each day you look more and more like little boys throwing tantrums.

Mpofu is laughing all the way to the bank.

Isn't he still running correctional services? So if he ever gets convicted, he'll just end up in a cell with a faulty lock

I think he is corrupt and not a buffoon, although someone who is corrupt can look like a buffoon at times, he got into the position more qualified than Pravin was at the time he was running SARS.

Nothing will change for the better as long as the ANC is in Gov.

I wonder what the eventual outcome of this commission will be. There is just so much to go through. Is anyone keeping track of it and preparing who to start investigating and charging? I know its going to drag out for years to come though.
