Zikalala is the ANC KwaZulu-Natal chair and has been nominated to be the provincial premier following last week’s elections. He is currently the MEC of economic development. “I have instructed my office to hand over the audio clip to law enforcement agencies and cyber-experts for investigation. We need to establish the identity of the voices behind the conversation and reasons behind such unfounded allegations.”

The alleged Hawks investigator then says that Gumede was supposed to have been arrested last week but “we thought that they would think we’re playing politics, but we’re not playing politics and decided to leave her”.

Why do I get a sense that thus audio was staged to create the 'Zuma type' tape saga? Dicussing timing of arrest etc, sounds familiar.
