Deputy chief justice Raymond Zondo expects the inquiry into state capture to resume in the next three to four weeks.
Asked if witnesses would be required to testify at the hearing or if they could give evidence on a virtual platform, Zondo said he preferred that they physically attend the hearing.
Zondo said the commission would prioritise evidence relating to the public protector reports when hearings resumed. “We were planning to have further hearings around April but the lockdown happened. We thought we could make plans for the resumption of hearings after the lockdown would have ended. Once there was an extension of the lockdown, it interfered with those plans. We realised that we needed to stay put and see what would be possible.”“The attitude is that those who can work remotely from home should continue doing that.
