Hopefully one of the MPs gets time in their busy trolling schedule to ask Ramaphosa what is being done to make sure that state security is transformed so that it could be held accountable to prevent this mess from happening again, because I have never heard anything addressing these concerns.

The high level review board was supposed to do that. However, there seems to be some kind of Mexican standoff over the entity. Each side has something to lose so we're left crippled. Should just disband the whole thing and be done. They're useless and actually a risk to national security. They've trained thugs who are out there loose selling secrets and knowledge used for crime and who knows what else.
 

Dali Mpofu degrades the legal profession - OPINION | Politicsweb

Willem Gravett and Llewelyn Curlewis write on the SC’s behaviour before the Zondo commission, and after
www.politicsweb.co.za www.politicsweb.co.za
In a video clip from the Zondo Commission hearings on 23rd March 2021 that went viral on social media Advocate Dali Mpofu SC is shown telling his junior colleague at the Bar, Advocate Michelle le Roux, to “shut up.” Mpofu also demanded that Le Roux’s client, Public Enterprises Minister, Pravin Gordon, whom Mpofu was cross-examining, should also “shut up.”

Mpofu has apparently decided that the best defence is offense. And the best offense in the current political climate seems to be to don the suit of armour of victimhood.

In lodging complaints against Le Roux and Watt-Pringle, Mpofu’s conduct has gone from contemptible to laughable. No rational person who saw the exchange at the Zondo Commission could possibly conclude that Mpofu was a victim in any way, shape or form (see transcript here).

In fact, in our opinion, if anyone has grounds to lodge a complaint, it is Le Roux – on the basis, not only of Mpofu’s manifestly unprofessional conduct, but also on what appeared to us to be Mpofu’s sexism and condescension towards her.

I don't really know her background but did a quick search and in 2014, she seems to have declared 27million of shares in gold fields. That is quite a packet despite her earning close to 2mil salary as speaker.

Well done to travel agents Sameera Sooliman & Halima Allana in exposing Salim Essa and Zwane. They seem to have kept email evidence which is great.

Yeah they're under oath. Oaths they are all ignoring and lying their asses off as the oaths seem to be made from toilet paper.

For the moment they're made of toilet paper yeah, but its just more fuel to whatever fire the NPA are building in the background really.

I first heard about here when her drivers licence "scandal" came up. And others

Mbete survived scandal, much like Zuma

For the next eight months, or even more, South Africans might have to get used to calling the speaker of parliament Madame President.
