Welcome to the Daily Maverick newsroom.
Do you have a question for one of our journalists? Have a story or a tip-off? Or maybe you want to ruminate over the day’s news. If so, this is the place to be.
Please can someone explain to me why the MK Party would support Mkhwanazi but not the Commission?
@ColleenD We can guess a million reasons why MK Party is anti commission. The most relevant one will be that like the rest of us, we have lost confidence in these commissions as we still have people in parliament that were implicated in commissions, meaning that commissions are toothless and legally confirmed that their reports/recommendations can be ignored - without reason. Naturally we want immediate arrests. The other reason might be that you cannot mention commission without mentioning Zuma, so this does not sit well with the MK brigade but all the same it does not matter what they do or say, the commission is on and this time the entire nation is watching, I do not think we are going to sit back and watch evidence ignored on the basis of it comes from the commission. This time around head are gonna roll. This is not Mkhwanazi or Madlanga’s commission it is the nations commission where our safety is at stake.
@Ferial any insights?
