Johannesburg - The decision of the state capture commission to rent a building owned by Tiso Black Star group which owns newspapers and business television has been questioned once again, with those questioning it saying it would be better for the commission to move out in order to save its reputation.
The association’s spokesperson, Carl Niehaus, said there is a possible compromise for the commission to use a building of a company with one of its titles known to have taken a hostile stance against former President Jacob Zuma who has been dragged to appear before the commission this week. Another political lobby group, the Radical Economic Transformation Champion says it was also opposed to having the commission sitting there. The group’s spokesperson, Nkosentsha Shezi, echoed Niehaus in several sentiments like leaks, reputational risk for the commission and the high costs.
“The issue of the commission using that building worries us a lot as we don’t know how secured it. We constantly have leaked documents carried by titles of Tiso now and again. By continuing to use the building we are forced to even to start thinking that the commission itself is captured by white monopoly capital,” Shezi said.
