JOHANNESBURG – The Council for the Advancement of the South African Constitution (Casac) pressure group has urged Associate Chief Justice Raymond Zondo to reveal his reasons for requesting an extension of two years

Zondo, who is the chairman of the commission, announced Tuesday that he had obtained an interim order from the court to extend the time.

The interested parties, including President Cyril Ramaphosa, the Protecteur du citoyen and Casac, will have the opportunity to oppose the application in October

Casac's executive secretary, Lawson Naidoo, wonders if Zondo has provided enough reasons why such an extension is necessary

"In the absence of this detail, we must be careful not to give the commission in the state to capture a blind verification to operate for a long time and allow people who have been involved in capturing the state to get away with it "

Naidoo cited the Marikana Inquiry Commission as an example of a process that dragged on for years

"Several years after the report of this survey, we are still waiting for implementation in the recommendations of this and we certainly do not want to take this road again." [19659004Zondoarguedthattheinitial180-daydeadlineisabouttoexpireandthecommissionhasjustbegunitswork
