“The failure of Mr. Zuma to appear or refused to appear before the commission amounted to no less than five weeks of scheduled hearing. This is in addition to the dates of November 16-20, 2020, which were also lost as a result of Mr. Zuma’s late request for disqualification and his departure from the commission proceedings, ”Mosala said.
The state capture investigation must, in terms of a court order, deliver its report to President Cyril Ramaphosa by March 31. It has postponed its public hearings for the year to resume in early January.
