Justice Dept dismisses claims it lost Zondo’s Commission evidence

The Justice Department said that its is untrue that it lost information used as evidence in the Zondo Commission of Inquiry into state capture or that it’s blocking access to the repository.

However, Head of the National Prosecuting Authority Shamila Batohi on Friday confirmed her investigators currently can’t access the database.

Minister Thembi Simelane however said this will be ironed out once the investigating directorate is fully legally compliant.

The Justice Department said that the evidence database from the Zondo Commission of Inquiry is at least one terabyte.

Director General Doc Mashabane said that reports that the storage of this information that may be in jeopardy – are untrue.
