A visibly nervous advocate Daniel de Villiers SC on Tuesday took his seat to be interviewed for a second time this year for the position of a judge in the Gauteng division of the high court.
On Tuesday, urging him to “come clean”, Madonsela asked: “Did you serve in the army during the height of apartheid, when the military was harassing black people in the townships?”
“In my CV I did reflect that I served in the military, but let me take the commissioners to a dark time. I never served in the township because I didn’t want to. When you say soldiers harassed people in the township, I didn’t. That is because I made a plan. The plan was to do an advanced law course and I became a lawyer and I sat at the commando offices,” said De Villiers.
