The break-in comes a week after that at the home of fellow whistleblower and Zondo commission witness Themba Maseko
The former president is asking the Pretoria high court to declare Zondo’s tenure as chairman of the commission of inquiry unlawful and to order Ramaphosa to appoint a new chair
Themba Maseko, the former chief government spokesman said it would be a very long wait for legislative reform, as urged by the Zondo report, to see the light of day if state capture culprits still in the state did not face the music
The whistleblower fears that Zondo’s recommendation that the firm’s contracts with public entities be scrutinised will be stonewalled – and implicates Telkom.
Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo found that the subversion of the procurement system and the decimation of previously sound parastatals happened on the watch of a ruling party that not only dropped the ball but pocketed the proceeds

The high court ruled banning the release of tax information was unconstitutional. Sars disagrees, saying is not only wrong but makes an exception of the former president
The court held that sections of the law providing for absolute taxpayer secrecy posed an unconstitutional limitation on the right to information and gave parliament two years to correct this
