The testimony of former head of the Independent Police Investigative Directorate Robert McBride was postponed because the Zondo commission's legal team failed to duly notify the people he implicated.
McBride was scheduled to testify on Monday, followed by former KwaZulu-Natal Hawks boss Major General Johan Booysen on Thursday. On Monday morning, advocate Paul Pretorius SC, head of the commission's legal team, told inquiry chairperson Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo that the postponement of McBride's testimony is to allow implicated parties to be notified, as stated in the rules of the commission.Pretorius added that there were"logistical challenges, which we needn't deal with in public..." "That is not acceptable," Zondo said.
He said the legal team failed for more than six weeks to issue notices to implicated persons, adding that those implicated should be treated fairly. "The commission does not have a lot of time... therefore we need to use every hour and every minute we have to do the work and hear witnesses," he said.
J_chabalala I smell a rat. There is vermin amongst the legal team who deliberately wants to stall. He is implicating 30 people and it wont be a surprise if many are on the list of aspiring ANC MP's. It has the smell of ANC intervention. 👇👇👇
J_chabalala They probably have people who are deliberately sabotaging the Commission. Have a look at their bank accounts and see who is being paid
