Makhubele was on Monday expected to take the hot seat and answer to allegations of wrongdoing during her tenure after several witnesses had implicated her. StateCaptureInquiry

Johannesburg - Former Passenger Rail Agency of SA interim board chair Judge Nana Makhubele has pushed for the Zondo Commission of Inquiry into State Capture to further postpone her testimony as she said her lawyers were not ready to handle her matter.

Makhubele was scheduled to appear last month but failed as her lawyers said she was traumatised by a tyre burst she experienced with her car on her way from Limpopo to Pretoria. Evidence leader Advocate Vas Soni told the commission on Friday that the legal team had received nothing from Judge Makhubele on Wednesday and that only on Thursday did they receive an affidavit accompanied by annexures from her, and not from her attorneys as expected.
