The state capture commission on Wednesday dismissed an application by former prisons boss Arthur Fraser to cross-examine witnesses who implicated him in wrongdoing.
Fraser said he was unable to comply fully with the commission’s regulations as there were documents he sought from the SSA which would have helped him complete his evidence.
Fraser’s lawyer Rapulane Kgoroeadira said at the time that the documents would provide “ammunition” against those who made allegations involving his client. Zondo said he noted that the SSA did not necessarily have a problem granting Fraser access to certain documents, but he would have had to adhere to the SSA’s stringent internal processes, including declassification and possible redaction of certain information.
