The state capture commission of inquiry is hoping to resume its public hearings by the first week of July as it tries to complete its work in the next nine months, deputy chief Justice Raymond Zondo said on Wednesday,
As the final deadline approaches, it is clear that Zondo still has a lot of mountains to climb before the final report and its recommendations land on President Cyril Ramaphosa's desk. The controversial family has refused to return to SA and appear before the commission. Zuma has already appeared before Zondo, and is expected to return at a later date. His second appearance was postponed due to health issues. Before resuming public hearings, Zondo said there were some issues around lockdown regulations that needed to be sorted out, such as whether witnesses would be allowed to travel from another province to appear before the commission.
Despite not holding public hearings for the past two months, Zondo said that he and the commission’s team had done much work.
