Johannesburg - It was a day of denials as former president Jacob Zuma sat for a second day at the commission of inquiry into state capture, sitting at Parktown in Johannesburg.
The former president denied he had any involvement in Maseko's removal, saying that that fell within the ambit of the relevant department minister and public services department. He told Zondo he could recall the exact details around Maseko's transfer as there was a moving of DGs around the same time.
"I think I have a difficulty with this that if, let us assume I wanted Maseko out, I would wait until I was out of the country and when I'm very far away, call. It's very funny... I'm not running a department. Why would I not call minister Chabane while I was here? Why would I wait until I go [out of the country]," a puzzled Zuma asked.
Zuma denied Mentor's allegations, or that he discussed Cabinet appointments with the members of the family as they were not "part of government".
