Its a pre-emptive strike to undercut any legal justification for recusal:

Judge Zondo raises the stakes on Jacob Zuma’s plan to use family ties in recusal application

Judge Raymond Zondo, chairperson of the State Capture inquiry, has denied that an old love affair with a sister of one of former president Jacob Zuma’s wives should be grounds for his recusal.…

“Unbeknown to anybody at the time, that woman’s sister, Ms Thobeka Madiba, was, many years after that relationship had ended, to get married to Mr Jacob Zuma. To my knowledge Mr Zuma had no relationship with Ms Thobeka Madiba in the mid 1990s.”

So, asks the judge, how can that be relevant today?

Meanwhile, one of Zuma’s wives has started divorce proceedings against him, alleging that he is delinquent in his maintenance responsibilities. A source said one of the arguments the former head of state was likely to use against Zondo was that he supported the judge’s child with his sister-in-law.

This one? Then it will be difficult to find anyone. Zuma must have banged pretty much anything really and what do they say, six degrees of separation?

Not a particularly important story, but I happened to catch a few minutes of this on TV:

Former SAA board member claims Zondo commission lawyer is biased against her

Former SAA board member Yakhe Kwinana on Monday attempted to get Advocate Kate Hofmeyr to recuse herself during her appearance before the commission, but she failed.

My question is how did such brain-dead people ever become appointed to the highest levels in the country? Oh wait, I remember now. It was based on loyalty, not skills...

Edit: Twitter is loving it:

I honestly believe they know exactly what they are doing at the commission. They are being dismissive and keeps on suggesting that the questioning must continue. Zuma did the same, and this woman did it better.

All they are doing is to 'commandeer' the available time. They give answers, but they don't answer the question. How not to be incriminated, they are taught well.

Yes, these individuals aren't suitable public servants. They most likely handled their administrative tasks as they did at this hearing.
