Share This: Witnesses before commissions of inquiry do not have the right to remain silent , says Lawson Naidoo (Casac).
The Constitutional Court on Tuesday became a battleground in the fight to get former president Jacob Zuma to appear before the Zondo Commission of Inquiry into State Capture.
Justice Zondo submitted the urgent court application when, last month, Zuma walked out of the Commission without permission while still under summons when his bid to have Zondo recuse himself failed.
