Supreme Court Vice President Raymond Zondo, chairman of the state capture commission, is expected to brief the media and the public on the commission’s work.
The briefing will start at 12:00.
The commission is a public inquiry and was launched by former President Jacob Zuma in January 2018 to investigate allegations of state capture, corruption, fraud, and other allegations in the public sector.
The investigation has seen some explosive events in recent weeks when the former chairman of the SAA board, Dudu Myeni, mentioned the name of a person he assumed was the mysterious Mr. X who testified before the commission earlier this year. . Judge Zondo had ruled at the time that Mr. X’s identity would not be revealed.
Zuma also tried and failed to persuade Zondo to recuse himself.
The former president filed a 530-page request to challenge Zondo’s refusal. Meanwhile, the commission is seeking an order from the Constitutional Court requiring him to appear before the commission to answer questions.
The Pretoria High Court granted the commission a final extension to complete its work by March 31, 2021.
