Minister Ayanda Dlodlo has failed in her bid to force her department’s acting director-general, Loyiso Jafta, from giving evidence at the commission of inquiry into state capture due to what she described as national security concerns.

Jafta was scheduled to begin testifying at the commission chaired by Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo on Tuesday morning, but Dlodlo’s legal representative, advocate Dumisa Ntsebeza, raised a number of objections.

According to Ntsebeza, Dlodlo was not interested in protecting the unearthing of criminality and wanted to assist the commission. ”The minister’s concerns arise, and I say so very cautiously and advisedly, from the content of the testimony… She is keen that we should consult because there are issues in that affidavit,” Ntsebeza explained, adding that he appreciated that the duration of the commission was limited.

”Before Jafta testifies we want to put before the commission - under oath - in writing what she feels would not be in the interest of national security,” Ntsebeza said.
