Former SAA chair Dudu Myeni pleaded guilty in the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court on Wednesday to a charge of obstruction of justice for naming a protected witness at the Judicial Inquiry into State Capture. | Fin24

The court ruled that she pay a R120 000 fine, or face two years in prison. Half of the amount is suspended for two years.

She named the person she assumed was Mr X in public testimony, despite being cautioned by the inquiry's chairperson, Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, that the witness would remain anonymous. Her lawyer argued, in mitigation of sentence, that she was a first time offender who will be turning 60-years-old in October. The lawyer also argued that Myeni was not gainfully employed, had not earned an income since 2017, and was declared a delinquent director for life and could not pursue any business interests.

Her lawyer also said Myeni admitted to the wrongfulness of her action and has not tried to evade justice.Her conduct was criticised by the civil society watchdog Right2Know Campaign, which accused her of placing an"important whistle blower in harm's way."received three payments in excess of R3 millionMr X said Myeni called him after those deposits were made and instructed him what to do with the money.

Fin24 But the witness is in trouble,people know him now ...

Fin24 'I would not like to respond to the question.'

Fin24 No problem we will raise the balance we don't throw out comrades in the Dustbin, only these judges belongs to the Dustbin, starting with this nonsense judge Zondo

Fin24 Blacks celebrate the fall of other blacks passionately. Yts do not fall asleep look at Eskom R5b gone they are quiet. Just mr x then boom our anger is boiling. We hate ourselves. We hate being who we are trying hard to be yt maybe bleach.

Fin24 Dudu MYENI-Zuma must now plead quilty n tell it all about her role in collapsing of SAA. She must explain Y most lucrative route Indian - Jhb was given to Guptas with Cyril & Zuma's blessings.

Fin24 Dudu initially thought she's untouchable but after Zuma's incarceration she toned down that's why she is able to appear in court

Fin24 so? 😂😂😂 im sure Karyn is having an orgasm

Fin24 These Roman - Dutch laws some are protected and some are exposed, mr x is nonsense.

Fin24 PhalaPhalaFarmGate asikakhohlwa Tsek.

Fin24 The real deal would be if she gets to see the inside of a jail cell...probably Not. All this time wastage with court cases and Commission Inquiries just a waste of tax payers hard earned money...a media shit show.

Fin24 DemocracyYethuSonke

Fin24 Is she smart this woman? I don’t believe so.

Fin24 CapeIndependence is coming

Fin24 What's the sentence ? One year ?

Fin24 Lies!!😹😹😹😹😂

Fin24 Throw the book at her

Fin24 She is collecting the 'awards'. First she was declared Delinquent director. Now she has added Criminal to the list.

Fin24 Another mgodoyi bites the dust. I hope this is not the last crime she is convicted of.

Fin24 So she waisted time and money.. hold tight there’s more for this delinquent.

Fin24 But remember the time she didn't have taxi money to get to a court appearance.

Fin24 When will she be locked up

Fin24 Forget jail, this is way better......

Fin24 This charge is nothing but horse crap. They had already divulged his company, a simple company check was going to review his name anyway.

Fin24 Wenze kahle Dudu Myeni oSathane laba but ngelinye ilanga liyobashonela pray my dear 🙏

Fin24 She got off lightly, imv. But nevertheless, hope her conviction sends a clear message that the blatant impunity of wrongdoers won't be tolerated.

Fin24 the establishment wants to make sure that they make a good example of Dudu so that no other Black executive dare challenge the system.

Fin24 She is guilty! 🙆🏽‍♂️

Fin24 Ambassador's post maybe....

Fin24 Evidence propaganda machinery😱

Fin24 Mr X

Fin24 Her arrogance is waning. The court in its sentencing must not forget that she committed the offense as an act of defiance to the commission. She acted as if she was above the law. She's only admitted the guilt now that she is cornered. She was warned ⚠️

Fin24 Dudu did the right thing for himself n for the citizens of SA .you're a star.all this Mass will passes n start new life.thanks.

Fin24 My brothers DavidSkosana4, Jaack_Maa, KNgwane1, Pastorransley and my sister tofolux3 still believe that the Zondo Commission was a waste of time. Nothing will come out of it, they believe. Now the bestie bestie of their spiritual father is getting a criminal record.

Fin24 A serious crime, intentionally destroying a good samaritan's life!

Fin24 You are so excited

Fin24 1 year imprisonment would be great

Fin24 And now?
