State Capture Inquiry: Des van Rooyen, 11 August 2020 Part 2 

Van Royen has been greatly failed by most. This man is intelligent and alert

des van rooyen is the best and brightest the anc can offer

Thank you DCJ- I like it when you take over and show experience and leadership. This is Law in action. I am proud of this profession. After being admitted to practise as an Advocate, I felt I am not a lawyer. I would not have reached his standards. For that reason I decided to go back technical . I fit very well in technical issues. DCJ is my hero.

Des Van Rooyen was lit

I was hoping to hear "Before you even enter the office, how did you know that work ahead need adviser and chief of staff.

CJ Zondo He is such a great listener

Singing hard for his meal ticket...best one so far.

The speech was excellent.

This speech was definitely written for him. Des cannot come up with such a speech

True Mr Van Rooyen. Many a times they vet those they want to sack. Those who don’t align with illegal issuing of tenders. I am saying this because I found myself in Centurion for lie detection out of the blue. I was the only Senior Manager who was instructed to do that. My colleagues who were involved in stuff, were never, ever sent for security issues until they left the Department. I confirm that vetting is not done to everybody in South Africa. Sitting here I will never forget the Department of Transport. But I survived. I was suspended 3 times. State Law advisers instructed me to return to my office as soon as possible. The issue was professionalism. Nobody wants that in our government. Senior Management is expected to sign anything. That will be over my dead body. I don’t append my signature in nonsense. I read first. I am trained to read before signing. I have retired now. I am considering writing a book about post liberation.

Corruption and the love for money destroys many ANC comrades except for the obvious lies and a bit of arrogance you can see that Des Van Rooyen is very intelligent he worked hard for his qualifications also but it all took a Gupta to bring him down. He reminds me of Brian Mokoena a very intelligent man also. Hats off to DCJ Zondo, you can see the fairness in him ✊🏽✊🏽

The man doesnt remember his number plate or registration.... that many cars ...

I think he imply that he never vetted the appointee because it was a norm not to do so! but he is not willing to admit it!

Can court proceedings play out in the open when the time comes? for the nation to learn one or two things.

Well done reading a speech written by you friends Mr Guptas..

Would have great to listen to Des present National Budget in Parliament

Mr.Des Van Rooyen you were sworn in as a minister of Finance just for 4 days.Whar was the reason for that?

Is it a minister job to satisfy himself with a particular candidates profile funny the enquiry is not asking about the recruitment policy that the is required to sign off

How did masuku and healey know that van rooyen was with saleh boardroom. He say that he did not invite them the came on their own. Only bobat was invited. Why not at luthuli house for the interview. Makes one think.

How did the advisor and chief of staff knows about the position in your office

So strange that this witness is volunteering so much information at his own accord,where's his legal advice

How did you get hold of the advisor Cv and that of chief of staff

You go to Lethuli house just to call someone from Gupta family. And you drive to their house without appointment and you later tell us you did meet with the guy. This does not make sense at all

Hayi Baba i agree the ANC excells in stealing...cha that one you have no match

By the way Des, who wrote your speech.

Heer Mr Des Gupta was sweating when The DCJ started asking how people would know that he was gonna show up with two advisors he don't know! wena sela moer

Why only these two people had send you their Cv

This is a waste of everyone’s time

As for i hope this microphone is sanitized 😂😂

This Des van Rooyen is guilty of whatever he is being alleged to have done. No need to listen further in his opening remarks!

Des Van Rooyen looks like his cellphone did not have airtime. He always used landline😃

Enca Zondo commision

Former Minister of Finance for a weekend?? We should take away the title....

Lying with a straight face, lovely legal games.

This guy (Hully) is very very arrogant! I don't know, It must be because of the cameras! The only wrong doing I can find so far is the recommendations of his advisor and appointment of the Chief of Staff without proper background check otherwise, there's no major irregularities, no evidence of state capture here but Mr Van Rooyen Made a huge mistake especially on the recommendations of his advisor as the minister of finance which is very sensitive, otherwise there's no strong evidence here of major wrong doing and also it was an incomplete process, they would have been verified in the more robust process and any malicious would have been identified.

This advocate has a very unfortunate attitude.....

lol listen to this guy its cruel that poverty are suffering these bastards are stacking up an act of evil indeed

What a waste of our precious time!

Another Hlaudi.
