The commission has done great work in exposing the scale of corruption. Let it complete its work

A collective sigh of frustration sounded through SA last week when deputy chief justice Raymond Zondo filed urgent court papers seeking another extension to complete the work of the state capture inquiry. It has been a pricey exercise, running to about R1bn, with the highest-paid senior counsel costing as much as R38,000 a day. These are numbers that make eyes water in a country where a fifth of the population lives below the extreme poverty line of just more than R600 a month.

Zondo, in his umpteenth request for an extension, pleaded for more time - until December 31 - to complete the three-year investigation. The previous extension expires on September 30. Zondo said he had hoped to have the first draft done by the end of June, the second by August and the third and final drafts by mid-September.

Why are we wasting money the same questions asked in the commission can be asked in a court of law as the prosecutors have already investigated the transgressions in question. What a waste of taxpayers money we can't afford, wasteful as they do with everything else in our country

It’s the whole anc/government so the only way you will finish it is by get rid of all of them

Useless commission people are enjoying life
