Regulation 8(1)

Chairperson noted that under Section 6 of the Commission's Act and Regulation 8(1), a witness who refuses to answer questions lawfully put to them after being sworn in commits an offence, and questioned Mr Mogotsi's claim of self-incrimination as he did not clarify how the answer incriminated him or what crime was referred to.

“thesection, I think it is Section 6 of the Commission's Act and there is also, is it Regulation 8(1)... both create an offence if a witness that has been sworn in fails to answer fully and satisfactorily any question lawfully put to them.”
