In a rare move, Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo has ordered another sitting judge to come to the State Capture Commission to give evidence on her tenure as chairperson of the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa.
On Friday 24 July, Judge Tinswalo Annah Nana Makhubele, the former chairperson of the interim board of the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa , was ordered to appear before the Zondo Commission of Inquiry into Allegations of State Capture following her request for a postponement into her evidence.
She was due to give evidence before the commission chairperson, Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, on Friday morning but instead sent a letter requesting a postponement as she said she’d not have enough time to consult her legal representatives. Shakoane then informed the commission that Makhubele had been in a car accident on Thursday while driving from Mokopane in Limpopo to Tshwane. A tyre on the vehicle burst causing an accident which, according to Shakoane left Makhubele too traumatised to appear before the commission on Friday.
Zondo, clearly frustrated, said: “I think Judge Makhubele has known the commission has wanted her to come and give evidence for at least a number of months… She has known it was likely that she was going to be asked to give evidence, it was a question of when.”
