"Aren’t these private documents? Who is sponsoring the EFF?"
@BoyJacobs2 asked:
"@Julius_S_Malema just for our understanding and being able to support your effort, why do you want to Unseal CR17 Bank Statements?"
@Victor46715833 added:
"And the NDZ statement? Why do you always focus on the right hand and leave the left."
Previously, Briefly.co.za reported that Floyd Shivambu supported former president Jacob Zuma's calls for the CR17 bank statements to be unsealed. Shivambu recently highlighted portions of Zuma's statement released in response to the State Capture Inquiry announcing that it would be seeking jail time.
The ex-president had claimed that certain judicial figures are protecting President Cyril Ramaphosa. Shivambu also questioned why the Inquiry was pursuing jail time for the ex-president. He wrote:
"How does this work? Didn’t the former President’s Lawyers write this letter to the Commission to say they are going to appeal Zondo’s presiding & refusal to recuse himself? Doesn’t the law permit people to appeal? What’s the imprisonment for? @AdvDali_Mpofu where are we now?"
