Welcome to Steemit, @chrisyelland! What a farce this is. There's a pattern here:

• Use a tainted chairman - in this case, no matter what his merits, allowing the accused to choose him, using race-based criteria
• Offer no real evidence - in this case use an ill-prepared, junior attorney (not even an advocate!) who is totally out of his depth and tainted by his business links to Eskom
• Deliberately obstruct the hearings by, amongst other things, pressuring witnesses and withholding evidence

Just like Hlaudi.
