Suzanne Daniels accuses Zondo commission of unfair treatment

Daniels appeared before the commission again on Monday.

She asked to make an opening statement following the testimony of former Eskom CEO Matshela Koko.

In September, Daniels implicated Koko in the looting of Eskom, stating that was a conduit for the Guptas at the power utility.

"I have nothing, I have lost everything, and I may not be able to work in my profession ever again. Financial and professional ruin is often the loss of whistleblowers, not to speak of death threats and constant fear. My daughter is now abroad because of the threats we received.

"I watched Mr Koko's testimony here last week, and I was stunned at how matters unfolded. He made several spurious allegations that were unchallenged.”

Daniels said the commission has treated Koko and others she has exposed with kid gloves.

She said her previous session at the commission was heavy-handed.

The commission’s chair, Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, told Daniels that the commission's mandate is to treat every witness fairly, but that it is not up to witnesses to determine how testimony unfolds.
