President Jacob Zuma amended the Presidential Minute appointing the members of the Arms Procurement Commission allowing it to continue as a two-person commission, led by Justice Willie Seriti as its Chairperson and Justice Thekiso Musi as a member, in the interim period.
President Zuma is still considering whether or not to appoint a third member of the Commission.
The Presidency regrets any inconvenience arising from the earlier statement.
In October 2011, President Jacob Zuma appointed a Commission of Inquiry into the allegations of Fraud, Corruption, Impropriety or Irregularity in the Strategic Defence Procurement Package, or the Arms Procurement Commission.
The Commission was composed of the Honourable Mr Justice Willie Seriti, Judge of the Supreme Court of Appeal as its Chairperson and the Honourable Mr Justice Thekiso Musi, Judge President of the Free State High Court as well as the Honourable Mr Justice Malesela Francis Legodi, Judge of the North Gauteng High Court as its members.
Last week, Justice Legodi, tendered his resignation, citing confidential personal reasons.
