Documents crucial to the State’s case in the first State Capture trial, taking place in the Bloemfontein High Court, have been ruled as inadmissible evidence.

In the first State Capture trial, acting Judge Nompumelelo Gusha ruled in the Bloemfontein High Court on Thursday that some key documents that were provisionally placed on record by the State are inadmissible.

The State had argued that a number of key documents on which its case was built, provisionally be placed on record on condition that the State would be able to provide evidence to authenticate them. “All the evidence they [the State] sought to rely on to prove the authenticity [of the documents] came to nought,” Judge Gusha said. She stated that none of the witnesses who testified was present when the documents were signed and the State did not bring any handwriting expert evidence to authenticate the signatures.

But, having carefully considered the evidence tendered, she was not satisfied that they were lost or that a diligent search had been conducted.

So Zuma was jailed for a commission that couldn't even get its facts right ?is this a sign that zondo is incompetent;shouldn't zondo be suspended whilst we check his fitness to hold the CJ position?Or is such treatment only reserved for mkhwebane and anyone who is pro black
