Legal counsel for former Minister Malusi Gigaba has proved to the state capture commission that Norma Mngoma is an unreliable witness.
Mngoma was examined by her husband’s lawyer Richard Solomon on Tuesday night, bringing up the authenticity of her academic qualifications.
Tuesday night’s cross examination began with Solomon going through Mngoma’s first affidavit that was deposed to the Zondo commission.
Solomon asked her about her admission that some of the information contained in the document that she signed was captured incorrectly.
Then there was a question about the legitimacy of a degree that she allegedly obtained from Henley Business School.
Mngoma refused to answer that question arguing its relevance, but commission chair Raymond Zondo was quick to remind her why the query was valid.
Solomon told the commission that Mngoma was an evasive witness because she had repeatedly refused to answer questions.
Mngoma countered that saying she only refused to give answers to questions that could endanger her life.
