it's been a riveting day at the state capture inquiry, during former president Jacob Zuma's first day of testimony.

Maseko had told the Zondo commission the then president called him and asked him to assist the family."I'm not sure. I don't remember...I don't think there was something out of the ordinary whether there was a call or not."

Former Mineral Resources Minister, Ngoako Ramatlhodi denied Zuma's claim that he was an apartheid government spy.Zuma told the Zondo Commission that Ramatlhodi, who accused Zuma of auctioning the country to the Gupta family, was an apartheid spy."What made Ngoako behave the way he did here, saying we have auctioned the country, in the NEC I just do what I like, He's carrying out an instruction. He was recruited when he was a student in Lesotho to be a spy.

Zuma also added that former SANDF chief Siphiwe Nyanda, took instruction from apartheid police to protect a spy that was trained to infiltrate the ANC in exile. According to Zuma, the incident happened after an alleged spy named Ralph was arrested by Swazi police. "In the morning he was detained by the Swazis, then a few days after detention, Swazis and SAP wanted to release him. They did something and asked somebody when he comes out after arrest to hug him as they greet. That hug was important because it would be saying he's innocent and that nobody is angry for him.
