President Cyril Ramaphosa, and Seriti himself, did not oppose this application, effectively meaning that the state made no attempt to defend the inquiry

The findings of the Seriti inquiry into the multibillion rand arms deal, which ran for four years and cost nearly R140m, have been set aside by the Pretoria high court.

In a unanimous ruling, Mlambo and two other judges have granted an application by non-governmental organisations Corruption Watch and Right2Know to invalidate judge Willie Seriti’s findings that there was no evidence of corruption in the arms deal.

Mlambo on Wednesday morning pointed out that the Seriti inquiry had refused to examine Shaik’s trial record, for reasons that were not entirely clear.
