Did Mzwanele Manyi lie to the state capture inquiry?

That is the argument the commission's advocate, Kate Hofmeyr, presented to chairperson deputy chief justice Raymond Zondo when Manyi returned on Thursday for a second and last day of testimony this week. They relate to Manyi's term as director-general of the department of labour in 2010 and his transfer to the Government Communication Information System the following year.

Manyi became defensive, accusing Hofmeyr of waging a “battle” against him. “There is nothing false that I have said. I never received the letter, that is not false,” he said. “A minister does not have the power to dismiss a DG. The only time the word dismissal or termination really takes effect is when you have the consent of the president or a delegated authority. Mdladlana will go to his grave never having fired a DG in his life.”

“The issue of remaining an employee throughout ... I said here yesterday I have no evidence of having being dismissed and the reason I said so is because I was getting paid. It can never be factually correct to say a minister dismissed you,” said Manyi. The bone of contention was a letter Manyi penned to then department of public service & administration minister Richard Baloyi on November 15 2010. In it he made reference to the termination letter he received about two weeks prior.

Are there any consequences in lying to that circus?
