Johannesburg - Deputy chief justice Raymond Zondo has dealt a blow to former Sars commissioner Tom Moyane’s battle with Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan by dismissing his application to cross-examine. Zondo read out his ruling regarding Moyane’s application to cross-examine Gordhan on Tuesday and detailed why he chose not to grant Moyane permission to question Gordhan.
Zondo began by reading the commission’s rules which guide his decision on whether to allow for cross-examination. The rules do that automatically entitle an implicated individual to cross-examine a witness. The discretion falls on Zondo after he has considered the application whether he will allow for cross-examination.
Zondo pointed out that Moyane’s application came across as if he felt he was entitled to cross-examine Gordhan. The chairperson said Moyane failed to point out where in Gordhan’s statement he has been implicated. Zondo said Moyane’s application should have made it clear where in Gordhan’s statement he had been implicated and for him to provide his own version.
