Zuma arms deal probe is just another cover-up

SANDF Gripen Fighter

I believe that the only reason Jacob Zuma has initiated an arms deal probe (12 years after the deal took place) is to avoid public embarrassment when a Constitutional Court forces him to do so in November. 

There is the distinct danger that the commission of inquiry will be controlled and 'contained' to reduce the fallout for the ANC. Just like we saw recently with the Judicial Services Commission, the committee will be mostly ANC deployed cadres. Also, given the length of time since the now R70 billion arm deal scandal broke, corrupt politicians would have seen to it that all documents implicating them were destroyed. 

I fear that this is just more window dressing and another waste of money...
