SIPHO MASOMBUKA | 28 March, 2012 00:2213
The former head of the apartheid government's chemical and biological warfare programme, Dr Wouter Basson, has been branded a liar and accused of deliberately withholding information from the Health Professions Council's professional conduct committee.
But Joubert blasted Basson's answer and accused him of telling half-truths, putting it to him that Mandela had re-appointed him because the British and Americans had approached Mandela with concerns that Basson was giving information to Libya.
He also put it to Basson that after he was put on early retirement he had travelled to Libya four times.
"The Americans and the British approached Mr Mandela with concerns that you were leaking information to Libya and Mr Mandela was approached to restrict your movements," Joubert said.
