Des van Rooyen arrives to support Jacob Zuma at state capture inquiry

One of the first witnesses to appear before the commission last year, former Government Communication and Information Systems boss Themba Maseko, alleged Zuma had instructed him to help the Guptas in their 2010 bid to redirect the GCIS’s entire R600m media advertising budget to the family’s media interests.

Gordhan said he believed his sacking in 2016 was a move by Zuma to have court processes regarding the closing of Gupta-related bank accounts withdrawn. The first indication that Zuma was receiving monetary benefit for abusing his state powers came from former Bosasa executive Angelo Agrizzi, who told the commission that the then president was on the company’s pay roll.Zuma allegedly received R300,000 a month from Bosasa, paid in cash to Dudu Myeni, who chairs the board of the Jacob Zuma Foundation.

The last person to implicate Zuma directly in wrongdoing at the commission was former ANN7 editor Rajesh Sundaram, who appeared last month. ANN7 was a Gupta-owned TV news channel.
