Zondo commission granted until March 2021 to finish work​

By Rebecca Davis• 24 February 2020​

The ‘final extension’ has been given to the Zondo commission to complete its work investigating State Capture. The North Gauteng High Court ruled on Monday that the inquiry can proceed until March next year – but no longer.​

In order to preclude the possibility of further applications for extensions, Judge Hughes ruled that March 2021 should be the commission’s final deadline.


“I am mindful of the fact that it is in the interest of justice that there be finality with the work of the commission, encompassing findings and recommendations to act upon as a matter of urgency,” Judge Hughes wrote.

“In my view, further extensions would not be warranted.”

In granting a 13-month extension, the court took up the suggestion put before it by the Council for the Advancement of the Constitution (Casac), which had advocated for a final deadline of 13 months.

“We welcome the judgment – it is in accordance with the proposal Casac put before the court,” Casac director Lawson Naidoo told Daily Maverick on Monday.

“We think the commission now needs to focus its mind on how it is going to use that 13 months.”

In my view Zondo must be instructed to complete his report (and recommendations), and that all gatherings by the commission must be handed to the NPA. The president at that time which should be Ramaphosa must then act on the recommendation, an action I am sure will be delayed due to some reason or the other, and the NPA must pursue the investigation irrespective to the report and the president's decision. In my view, the ANC who enabled the state capture shouldn't be custodian over the report, and I am certain the ANC is intimate with the state capture.

Just wait, amnesty is soon going to be on the table.

Zondo said Ramaphosa will be asked a wider set of questions than only those related to where his name has been heard in the 303 days of testimony, the Commission has already heard.

“Ramaphosa was part of the executive; he was deputy president of the country and the ANC (during the state capture era). (We want to know) what he knew, what happened and what the challenges were,” said Zondo.

Corruption continues at endemic levels, not sure what deterrent their 1Gig is proving. This commission was and is a monumental waste of time and money. They pussy foot around the people are actually corrupt while giving random sideshows time in the spotlight to spout various unrelated propaganda without being challenged. Close it up, cut losses and shred the ****.

Google estimates 75000 pages of word although I suspect this information was put to fill in the news article with some numbers in the hope to impress readers or something.

Why secretary thinks that this archive alone is a deterrent to future corruption is beyond my understanding.
