Ramaphosa says he needs time to read the report and see the extent of which it enables the inquiry to do its job.


He says other positives include the fact that there will be an independent judge presiding over the case and this process will go along in tandem with the process that needs to be followed by the criminal justice system.


"Where wrong has been committed, it must followed through and those who have committed it must be brought to book," Ramaphosa concluded.
