The commission’s chair says its legal team should prepare in advance and ensure all is in order to avoid any further postponements.
Mhlongo’s lawyer, M.E. Manala, told Zondo that his team had asked the commission for a recording in which his client is implicated of wrongdoing but they were told last Thursday, 23 July, that specific equipment would be required for them to listen to the recording. Manala said this request was made “sometime in September last year”.
Manala said considering these reasons, the one pertaining to the recording and Joubert’s affidavit, his team needs time to reconsider its position hence an application was made to postpone Mhlongo’s testimony.The commission heard that Joubert’s 2013 affidavit implicates Mhlongo in the plot to oust Nxasana and that Joubert had recorded Mhlongo.
