paragraph 5

ADV JOHNSON explained the need to determine whether Lieutenant General Jacob was precluded from returning or refused to return, as this affects legitimacy of the deviation appointment and proceeding of the deviation.

“We needed to determine whether he was precluded from returning, did he refuse to return? Because if there is documentation where he refuses to return, then that deviation has to go on. If there is documentation where he has been precluded, which is paragraph 5, if you have the civil or labour proceedings pending, that precludes him from going back to that position and they could then also make the decision on whether or not the deviation must proceed.”
