JOHANNESBURG – Former South African Airways (SAA) board member Yakhe Kwinana has asked the state capture commission to try her not as an accountant, but as a person.
Kwinana said she is concerned that continued reference to her qualifications during cross-examination could discredit the entire profession.
In an unusual move, the state capture commission is sitting in Braamfontein this weekend as it races against the clock to complete its work on time.
Kwinana was back in the hot seat answering questions about her role at SAA, the airline’s dealings with a company known as JM Aviation, and the millions of rand she allegedly received through dodgy deals.
Supreme Court Vice President Raymond Zondo had a hard time appreciating how she couldn’t answer certain questions, given her qualification as an accountant.
“I have full confidence in the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (Saica) and if I am sitting here as a disaster for the profession, please separate me from the profession to save the profession,” Kwinana said.
