Dear @t_moyane,
Refuse to pay Dali Mpofu. He wasted your time and money. I think that he came from the EFF branch meeting to the Commission without preparation.
Therefore, refuse to pay and play him a Youtube Video of his amateurish performance at the Commission tonight.

Pravin Godhan is indirectly saying that Tom Moyane is not corrupt and there is no evidence to prove that. That's the reason he did not go to the Police to report him.

#StateCaptureCommission If Tom Moyane have listened to Williams from Bain testimony earlier, he should have asked Dali Mpofu to stay at home and save costs. He should look for a Advocate that will represent him.

Dali Mpofu’s conduct at the commission tonight was despicable, unprofessional and unbecoming from an officer of the court.
