Strange, we’ve seen this thing before: Break-in at offices of Zondo Commission is sign of panic as final deadline looms By MARIANNE THAMM MarianneThamm

On Saturday night, intruders gained access to the Parktown, Johannesburg, offices of the Zondo Commission of Inquiry by cutting the perimeter security fence and evading security. They made off with two laptops and other items.

The thieves, however, managed to evade detection, slipping through a gap created by a severed bar on the security fence, snipping electrical wiring behind it and making their way stealthily to the third-floor offices of the commission. The burglary was only discovered on Sunday morning.Inquiry spokesperson the Rev Mbuyiselo Stemela confirmed the break-in to the media and said police were investigating.

Mosala did not want to speculate whether the shooting and the break-in were linked, but it is difficult not to view the two incidents in this light. Mysterious and unsolved break-ins have been a hallmark of the “State Capture” years and the subsequent attempt at cleanup on various fronts.
