Etzebeth case divides the SAHRC

The commission this week took to social media to announce that it would be investigating its own acting head of legal services, Buang Jones, for inappropriate comments allegedly made during a gathering regarding the Etzebeth case last month in Langebaan, Western Cape.

“The commission decided on Wednesday to institute an urgent investigation regarding the alleged remarks attributed to Jones. The comments might have left signs of prejudice on the part of the commission. This led the community to continue to cooperate and participate in giving statements and evidence, to the point where the case was submitted to the equality court.

Gaum explained that there was nothing unusual for the commission to deviate from normal procedure, if it was warranted. The SAHRC guidelines state that if a complaint is lodged, the matter should first be assigned by a legal practitioner who would speak to the complainant to get details about the matter.

The IPPs are not working for us which is good as most just drain our economy of resources as Westerners were awarded most of the contracts. The IRP strategy must be revised to favour Eskom and local content. This will also ensure sweating of Eskom assets and reversal of losses.
