In response to questions from inquiry chair deputy chief justice Raymond Zondo, Zuma denied that he had told Gupta of any possible reshuffle, or that the controversial businessperson played a role in the appointment of ministers.Mentor previously testified that while at the Gupta's Saxonwold compound in 2010, she was offered the job of public enterprises minister on condition she terminate SAA’s Johannesburg-Mumbai route. Mentor said Zuma was at the compound at the same time.

Evidence leader Paul Pretorius said on Tuesday that Zondo had yet to make a finding about the “credibility and reliability” of Mentor’s testimony, and the questions still needed to be put to Zuma. Zuma denies that he played any part in that shift, and appeared to blame late minister in the presidency Collins Chabane for the move.
