PRESIDENT Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to receive the fourth part of the Zondo Commission report on Monday, 25 April.
The report has been delayed for weeks now.
According to court papers, the commission chairman Justice Raymond Zondo filed in court asking for an extension last week.
The report will focus on the capture of Eskom, National Treasury, the closure of the Gupta brothers’ bank accounts and the Free State housing and asbestos scandals.
The commission, which sat for four years at a cost to the public purse in excess of R1 billion, has heard testimonies relating to how the government departments and state-owned enterprises were infiltrated, looted and pillaged during former president Jacob Zuma’s tenure as head of state.
Part 4 of the report should have been released in February but Zondo filed an urgent application that month in the High Court for an extension until the end of April to release the findings and it was granted.
So far, Mzansi has been exposed to the findings covering the South African Airways (SAA), Gupta-owned newspaper The New Age and the South African Revenue Service (Sars), which were contained in Part 1.
Part 2 focused on state-owned enterprises Transnet and Denel and was submitted to the president on 1 February.
The third part of the findings was sent on 1 March and it dealt with Bosasa, SAA and Eskom.
Zuma and his son Duduzane, former SAA board chairwoman Dudu Myeni, former finance minister Malusi Gigaba, Mineral Resources Minister Gwede Mantashe, former minister of environmental affairs Nomvula Mokonyane and Bosasa seniors including former COO Angelo Agrizzi and executive director Papa Leshabane were among those fingered.
In the recent court application, Zondo has asked for a six-week extension of the deadline to deliver the fifth and final report.
He said the commission needed more time to investigate the erosion at the South African Broadcast Corporation (SABC), Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa), the infamous Waterkloof landing and the Estina dairy farm.
