“I’m glad Hussein came to the hearings and confessed that he had pressure … I was clear with him that I was very unhappy with the decision,” Zondi said on Thursday.

“When Hussein came back to me after I asked ‘what happened,’ he told me that after the discussion the night before the game, where we made the decision that Khaya would play, he shared the information with AB de Villiers the captain, and De Villiers was not happy with the decision and in his unhappiness, he felt AB had put him in a corner.”

“I just felt the fall out of me standing my ground at that stage, would have, I think, made things worse for the team and made things worse for Khaya, because if he played, after I’d insisted he played, and he didn’t score runs and the team lost, I think he would have been blamed for it. So all those things were going through my mind.

Zondi told Ntsebeza that both De Villiers and Manack were wrong. “AB knew I was the full time convenor. At any stage if he was not happy with the decision of the panel, he should have contacted me first and said he was not happy and explained himself.” “I remember in the moment of him explaining himself to me, losing all respect for him as a captain, and as someone I looked up to as a cricketing hero of mine because I could not believe this guy was trying to justify himself to me, and it came across as if I should accept this decision because the decision came from him.”

Raymond Zondo refutes Arthur Fraser's allegationsDeputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo has refuted Arthur Fraser's claims that he denied him the opportunity to testify at the State Capture Inquiry. Arthur Fraser can always have his day in Court where he can present his version of events, under oath and cross examine witnesses. Somehow, I think he will move heaven and earth to prevent that from happening. His version is more plausible than Fraser’s
