Frank Chikane

Now, M- Mbeki has, has squarely laid the blame with the NPA.

He has said it's the NPA's fault they didn't issue their mandate, that he'd never, uh, as a president or a government, ever issued any directives not to prosecute people, that he hadn't interfered with the Frank Chikane prosecution, which was the one in 2006, which brought about all the toppling of, of kind of, uh, I, I would suppose, uh, any semblance of, of, of something going to happen.

You know, that's where it all went off the rails.

Um, it's going to be diffic- I think it'll be interesting to watch Mbeki being cross-examined by Howard Varney for the families.

So this doesn't change the names of the people who are on the lists that were submitted late.

There's a separate problem which relates to Frank Chikane, Reverend Frank Chikane, and Andile Lungisa, who also won his, his case in court, where people were mysteriously removed from the lists that themselves were uploaded and never, uh, submitted in terms of the clicking the Submit button.

So even though the ANC will now be able to field the candidates that were uploaded onto the IEC system, it doesn't mean they'll be able to change or amend their lists and put new people on, um, outside of court cases like Andile Lungisa's, where the court mandated that should happen either now, if possible by, by the law or later, which may be after the council has sat.

So those are two separate questions, the uploading of the lists and whether the ANC submitted the lists, and whose name was actually on the lists.

Uh, Jeff Radebe, who served as the Minister of Justice between 2009 and 2014 and was the ANC's policy head for twenty-five years.

Anton Ackermann, who head, who was the head of the NPA's Priority Crimes and Litigation Unit; Vusi Pikoli, who was the National Director of Public Prosecutions between the years 2005 and 2007; uh, Reverend Frank Chikane, who was not only a senior ANC insider, but is amongst the contenders for the ANC's, uh, mayoral candidate for this local government elections.

There are-- These are just among some of the more prominent names that have appeared before the Khumalo Commission.

Now, let's get into what's been happening so far and why it matters.

How do you think that's not even a part Bosa? Do you see that? I don't think they got that fricking graphic design on team.

Question, Chester, because there's been talk about whether Reverend Frank Chikane and Helen Ziller running in the seventies is ageism or not.

When we say they are old, they have no business running.

What are your thoughts, Chester?
