The South African public, by all available accounts, believes Cronje's allegations against Azharuddin. But there is a feeling in India that Cronje could be lying in order to deflect further attention from himself. If indeed he is lying, Cronje would have perjured himself. What ramifications does it have for the former Proteas skipper if it is established that he is lying? What about the immunity he's been offered? Does it protect him even if he lies? Procedurally, the King Commission will have to satisfy itself regarding the veracity of Cronje's statements. This will happen on Tuesday, June 20, when the commission is expected to cross-examine him. If perjury is determined, Cronje could face the consequences under the relevant provisions of South African law relating to that offence, as well as the offence of enticing others to commit questionable actions. So far as the question of immunity is concerned the commission is understood to have granted immunity on the condition that it has to be satisfied that Cronje has told the whole truth.
