'It's important to hear the chief whip about the version of events she presented to him at the time. It's important to learn what was she reprimanded for.'
Thulare instructed the clerk of the court to issue subpoenas to Steenhuisen, DA MP Zak Mbhele and two former staff members to appear before the court next month. Thulare also instructed that the station commissioner of the Cape Town police ensure they submit affidavits in two weeks' time in relation to Nel's complaint.
Nel wanted the court to call Steenhuisen because"he is the individual to whom I escalated this matter and according to press reports, he says he issued the respondent [Kohler Barnard] with a reprimand". "Even if you advise Ms Kohler Barnard not to be a witness, nothing precludes me in the process of my inquiry to call her, to want to hear her before I make a determination," Thulare said.
"On any conceivable interpretation of those words, whether Nel's or the court's interpretation, they do not amount to an offence or unfair discrimination," he said.
