These are the last Segments - the Sixth and Seventh Segments - of our chat as Sikhakhane SC dives deeper into various key issues that he tackles in his book, Odyssey of Liberation: A Memoir of a Rebel Advocate.
In this last conversation Adv Sikhakhane SC discusses the State Capture (or Zondo) Commission and how the decision not to file answering papers in the Commission's application to have President Zuma declared in contempt of the Constitutional Court and committed to prison.
We also touch on the sealing of the CR17 record - the keeping of Public Protector Mkhwebane's rule 53 record on the PhalaPhala investigation from public scrutiny
Specifically, some of the following issues come up:
Did the Zuma legal team "walk out" of the Zondo Commission?
Was the purpose of the Zondo Commission to unearth the truth?
What is the true test for truth-seeking?
Who made the decision to defy the Constitutional Court order for Zuma to appear again at the Zondo Commission?
Whose decision was it for Zuma not to oppose the Zondo Commission's application to have him committed to prison for not appearing (again) at the Zondo Commission?
Why did the Zondo Commission force Zuma to appear before it (again) on pain of imprisonment for refusing to appear, but refuse Fraser the opportunity to appear and cross examine his accusers and present his own version?
Was the CR17 review record sealed by agreement?
