RobertMcBride's testimony at the StateCaptureInquiry has been delayed once again.
In the normal process, after a witness submits their evidence to the commission, a letter is issued to implicated people, notifying them of the time and date the person will be testifying and, second, allowing them 14 days to consult their legal representatives and make an application to cross-examine the witness.
"That scheme was predicated on the assumption that a witness would be called, due notice having been given and a two week preceding the evidence having being provided for, and in that period all applications for cross-examination would be heard. The implicated person would be given a opportunity to respond thereto so that a witness could come and give evidence and immediately be cross-examined," Pretorius said.
To solve the problem, the witness was allowed to testify and their evidence was postponed for future cross-examination rather than it being conducted immediately.Between the two of them, the commission has had to prepare about 100 notices for implicated parties.McBride's testimony has been postponed to Thursday and Booysen will testify on Monday next week, provided McBride is finished by then.
