StateCaptureInquiry | Tom Moyane loses bid to cross-examine Pravin Gordhan at state capture inquiry.
Zondo, who chairs the inquiry, said on Tuesday that the test for cross-examination is whether it is necessary and relevant to the commission’s work. In delivering his judgement, Zondo spent most of the morning highlighting the commission's rules.
"The first requirement ...is that the statement or evidence of the witness whom he or she wishes to cross-examine implicates him or her. If he or she fails to show this, his or her application is defective," Zondo said. "In applying the rules as discussed above...The first issue of [Moyane’s] application is whether as required by rule 3.3, [Moyane] has shown that he is implicated in [Gordhan’s] statement or evidence…[Moyane] has not shown that he is implicated in [Gordhan’s] statement or evidence."It was also found that Moyane's affidavit does not adequately respond to the relevant parts of Gordhan's testimony.
"[The rule] requires a statement responding to the witness statement in so far as it implicates him or her…[Moyane’s] statement does not at all respond to certain important parts of [Gordhan’s] statement which implicates him or does not respond adequately to some parts of [Gordhan’s] statement or evidence…Furthermore, I have also stated that Rule 3.
In March, Moyane's lawyer Dali Mpofu, in arguing for leave to cross-examine Gordhan, alleged that the minister was racist towards Moyane and referred to a phone call in which Gordhan allegedly told Moyane to"grow up". Mpofu argued that this amounts to racism, because it implies that Moyane is a"boy". He claimed Gordhan's affidavit was"more significant for what it omits than what it says".
