A “fatally defective summons” issued by the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture to former Eskom chief financial officer Anoj Singh led to the commission’s chair, Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, postponing Singh’s testimony at the inquiry to a date that will be determined in due course.
On Wednesday, when he was expected to take the witness stand at the commission, Singh submitted an affidavit outlining the reasons why he was not ready to give evidence and why he had not complied with two directives from the commission instructing him to file affidavits dealing with Eskom-related evidence.
Zondo asked the evidence leader, Pule Seleka, which affidavit the commission’s legal team was referring to in the summons, when Singh had not submitted one.However, Zondo pointed out that a summons should clearly state what a witness is required to give testimony on, and that it would be difficult for him to compel Singh to give evidence and be questioned on a non-existent affidavit, as stated in the summons.
Reporting lies why ? As it was the Zondo Commission who didn't serve affidavit rather served summons...
