The recently retired justice says the former minister and struggle veteran was a brave and honourable man.
"He always knew the right thing to do and did it. He put up a big fight to prevent the capture of the National Treasury. His evidence in the commission which was very extensive helped us understand what really happened with regards to state capture and that is something that all of us should try and emulate."
