Former Independent Police Investigative Directorate head Robert McBride’s evidence at the state capture commission of inquiry could implicate commission chairperson Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo’s younger brother, advocate Mxolisi Zondo, and create a possible conflict of interest, the commission heard on Thursday.
Evidence leader Paul Pretorius raised concern over a possible conflict of interest for the deputy chief justice, adding that Mxolisi was sent a notice by the commission’s legal team. Mxolisi found that Sibiya failed to prevent the rendition of Zimbabwean nationals. Several people were suspended as the probe continued. They included McBride, who was suspended by former police minister Nathi Nhleko who accused him of misleading the National Prosecuting Authority for allegedly altering his original rendition reports implicating Sibiya and Sibiya’s former boss Anwa Dramat.
Justice Zondo ruled that he would hear McBride’s evidence for now and decide later, after consultations, on how the Mxolisi matter should be treated. Zondo’s options are to recuse himself from hearing McBride’s whole evidence or that concerns evidence on Mxolisi, or not recuse himself at all.
