JUST IN | Arms Deal: Seriti inquiry findings set aside

The Gauteng High Court in Pretoria has set aside the findings of the arms deal commission of inquiry, with costs.

"The questions posed to the witnesses were hardly the questions of an evidence leader seeking to determine the truth," Mlambo said. Mlambo said the court is fortified in their view that the inquiry the commission was called upon to undertake"never materialised". The commission, set up in 2011 by former president Jacob Zuma and chaired by Judge Willie Seriti, found no evidence of corruption in the deal, in which the SA government entered into contracts with several European defence companies in 1999.The commission did not hold anyone accountable, finding that there was no undue influence in the selection of bidders.
