Envisaging a likely extension of the scheduled February 2020 completion of its proceedings, the commission, in consultation with the department of justice and correctional services, has arrived at an agreement to cut costs through seeking cheaper residence to hold hearings.
A breakdown of the costs shows that monthly rental for offices at Arena Holdings – which bought most of Tiso Blackstar publications and Hill on Empire, the building that has been used by the commission since its commencement – was R72 846.52 and the rental of the venue auditorium was R796 950, bringing the total to about R870 000.
He said the council chambers, which were used by the commission during this week’s proceedings, “could be available to the commission from March 1 next year when the current lease [between the commission and the owners of Hill on Empire] expires”. The housing of the commission at the Hill on Empire building attracted serious criticism, especially from the EFF.
“I just want to make it clear that this commission and [the departments of public works and that of justice] did not simply go for a privately owned building without exploring the possibility of saving costs and using a government-owned venue,” Zondo said.
Why can't they use government buildings?
Why the commission in the first place? In my view, we are dealing with clear cut crimes that require hawks to do forensic investigations, arrest and prosecute people. Finish n klaar.
Too late to move premises, it should have been done from the beginning
Your own fault you allow Zuma and the rest of the thieving mob postponements = more money for the Zondo commission workers.
Those CLUELESS MPs who used to make loud noise in parly as if they had evidence have not make a half page of evidence submitted at the commission,and they're now the ones making another noise about the cost incurred.Its dangerous to have clueless politicians in parliament.
Useless commission no one will ever be apprehended
But the looks of things it hasn't found any evidence to the so called state capture. It's money wasted as it's intention was get rid of Zuma in the SA presidency.
Or even paid for fees for a number of needy worthy kids out there
Ukusa nje this thing won't even yield anything, just another way of chowing our taxes. No commission has ever brought about any justice. Money that could've atleast bought sanitary pads & delivered 2schools for those underprivileged communities
