Whether the Zondo Commission will have any impact is dependent on the ability of the final report to connect new "dots" that emerged over the past three years and if there will be consequences for defying the rule of law, writes Pravin Gordhan.
The establishment of the Zondo Commission stands out as one of the pivotal moments in our short democratic history: with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and the adoption of the first democratic Constitution as some of the others.
The impact of the Zondo Commission will depend on the ability of the final report to connect a large number of new "dots" that have emerged over the past three years and whether there will be effective consequences for the gross defiance of the rule of law and the welfare of millions of South Africans.
