State Capture Commission of Inquiry chairperson Raymond Zondo has granted former revenue service commissioner, Tom Moyane leave to cross-examine Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan but this will happen under certain conditions.
Moyane has until January 15 2020 to respond to Gordhan’s clarificatory affidavit after which he can cross-examine the public enterprises minister.
Although Gordhan has, through his lawyers, maintained that he did not accuse Moyane of acting maliciously, Zondo explained that he relied on statements where the minister said the criminal complaint Moyane laid against him had nothing to do with a legitimate complaint about crime and was an abuse of process.
The areas of interest would be whether, in accordance to Gordhan’s testimony before the commission last year, Moyane acted maliciously by laying criminal charges against Gordhan.The former Sars commissioner’s legal team also seeks to clarify whether he [Moyane] was as alleged by Gordhan motivated wholly or in part by or sought to advance state capture.
Judge Zondo previously denied Moyane leave to cross-examine Gordhan in April, ruling that the former did not clearly identify which parts of Gordhan’s statement he disputed or denied.
