the annexure

Advocate Khumalo SC asserts that the Section 27 affidavit provided to the prosecutor does not mention most people named in the annexure, nor state that these people have committed offences, so there is no basis to form a view that they should be investigated.

“We have seen the section 27 affidavit. It does not mention most of the people in the annexure. It does not say any of these people have committed offences... All you gave her was a list of names. What could she write back to you based only on the affidavit and the list of names that would make you form a view that these people have committed such serious crimes that would justify an investigation against them.”

Advocate Khumalo SC agrees that people not linked by the Section 27 affidavit should not have been included in the annexure or the application for investigation.

“They should not have been included in this annexure, because even you, as you got the application, you would say to her, but these people are not in the affidavit. No allegation is made against them. So... They should not be included.”
