Former communications minister Yunus Carrim on Tuesday told the state capture inquiry that he decided not to volunteer his testimony because he would be perceived as having sour grapes for not being reappointed to cabinet after the May 2014 elections.
"I did not approach the commission with any complaints about my experience as a minister nor did I urge anybody to do so. It was the commission that approached me for co-operation.
"Besides, I did not want to seem as if I am some sort of cry baby running to the commission to settle political scores because I was not reappointed as minister after the May 2014 elections. "There are people who have discouraged people from coming forward. We’ve got to try and just do the right thing," said Zondo.We may be hampered when it comes to say what kind of recommendations we put up if people who have information do not come forward.Some of the people who may have been involved in some of the things we are looking into may not want that door [of corruption, fraud andin the public sector] to be closed so they can come back and continue with what they were doing.
