Zuma pulls out of South African graft inquiry: lawyer | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News

“We are here today to say that we will take no further part in these proceedings,” Zuma’s lawyer Muzi Sikhakhane told the inquiry commission in Johannesburg.An agitated Sikhakhane said the inquiry had become “a political process where the left-hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing,” drawing loud clapping and cheering from public members at the inquiry.

Zuma, who started testifying on Monday, had dismissed all accusations made against him by previous witnesses to the inquiry. In the corruption scandal popularly referred to as “state capture”, Zuma is accused of overseeing mass looting of state assets during his nine-year tenure.Zuma was due to give a final day of evidence on Friday after the inquiry was adjourned on Wednesday when he complained that the questioning was effectively a court cross-examination.
