Witnesses appearing before the commission chaired by deputy chief justice Raymond Zondo could face legal consequences should they circumvent questions and obstruct Zondo and other members of the commission. The executive secretary of the Council for the Advancement of the SA Constitution, Lawson Naidoo, said “given that time is running out for the commission, in the context that it has applied for an extension until the end of the year, a lot of time has been used up with witnesses evading questions and having to be called back to the commission”.

The amendments coincide with a statement from the commission that its legal team plans to subpoena Zuma to return to the commission in less than three weeks, to complete his testimony.
