Former president Jacob Zuma will no longer appear before the state capture inquiry next week.

The commission said on Tuesday that Zuma's legal team had informed them that he was"ill" and unable to attend his second round of hearings, set down between November 11 and November 15.

Zuma was initially expected to appear before the commission in October, but his lawyers said they were busy with legal matters arising from a recent Pietermaritzburg High Court decision dismissing the former president's application for a permanent stay of prosecution in his corruption case.

Is a selective memory an illness?

Can’t argue with Dr Shaik?!🥴🤔😡

Get better soon Sir👍🏾

Please get the best Dr available to treat him. We don't want him to die before he gets to prison. Keep him on life support if necessary. Easy way out and your time will come somehow or other,

He was not going to answer anything by appearing again.

😂😂😂

🤣🤣

What's the point of him making an appearance anyway ? All he did last time was suffer amnesia and cleared his throat constantly .Waste of time

Sick with financial worries? Serves him right for making our country sick. Karma!

Coward, subpoena and drag him in to tell his story.

Mental health issues

Then bring the bastard to the commision, if necessary use handcuffs or arrest him until all questions are answered. Don’t let this 💩 head off the hook.

Same doctor as Shabir!

Same thing with former PP lol not taken aback at all

Alright but doesn't mean he's off the hook. Get well and be ready to be roasted by Zondo!

I'll fix it for you 'Zuma exercise his perceived right as ex President , to dodge and obfuscate any accounting, before any and all legal processes of the Republic of South Africa'

Ah this guy is taking the whole country for a ride

Jippo-gutts? Spuit-poep?
