The legal acrobatics that are currently happening because SABC chairwoman Ellen Tshabalala has been asked to produce evidence that she hold the qualifications that she claimed to hold are quite mystifying.
It was a simple request, with the option of two simple responses.
1. She has the qualifications and she produces the certificates.
2. She does not have the qualifications and she admits that she lied.
As far as I can work out, there are no other options.
Just as one cannot be slightly pregnant, she cannot be slightly qualified.
So just what are all of the legal procedures about and what is she attempting to achieve?
As a supplementary question, just where are the funds for her lawyers coming from?
