Earlier on Thursday, Zondo sought to set the record straight regarding reports of him saying those implicated in the testimony who had applied to cross-examine the witnesses must also face cross-examination.
The Citizen reported that Zondo had indicated this in response to an application from Lakela Kaunda for leave to cross-examine Vytjie Mentor over her allegation that Kaunda had called her in 2010 to arrange a meeting with then president Jacob Zuma.

“They need to put up their version … We must know what their version is,” Zondo said.
Other lawyers who have applied to cross-examine those who have testified at the inquiry on behalf of people implicated include those representing former minister Lynne Brown and one other Hawks official. Faith Muthambi, notably, has not applied.
They are seeking to cross-examine Mcebisi Jonas, Vytjie Mentor, Phumla Williams, and Themba Maseko.
