Siphiwe Nyanda wants an opportunity to cross-examine Jacob Zuma at the Zondo commission about the claim that he was an apartheid spy — a feat that would be almost impossible, because the former president declined to submit a witness statement.

Although an intelligence agency conspiracy against former president Jacob Zuma may have existed 30 years ago, it is unlikely still to be in operation today.

Zuma’s’ refusal to engage with the commission on the allegations he made were part of this “denial”, he said. She said the matter was now before the Zondo commission, but if approached her department would take it up. Both leaders played a tacit role in Zuma’s ousting. Ramatlhodi’s testimony before the Zondo commission covered the impact of the friendship between Zuma and the Gupta family on the ANC.

Nyanda said Zuma was “trying to hide behind” the spy claims in a bid to divert attention from the allegations that had been levelled against him at the state capture commission.
