Adv LP Mkize SC

Adv LP Mkize SC is a senior counsel who appeared before the Commission, accompanied by instructing attorney Lucasius Loliwe and Lesedi Mlandwa. His testimony centred on a dispute over the playing of audio recordings during proceedings, specifically concerning whether certain names should be mentioned publicly. Mkize explained that he had raised the issue with a colleague beforehand, noting that his client initially did not want all names disclosed, though the client eventually relented. He described weighing the option of a formal in-camera application, which he felt would have caused undue delay, and expressed difficulty understanding the sensitivity, remarking that the public was interested in information rather than names. He also indicated that re-examination was unlikely as the default position.
