Johannesburg - Former president Jacob Zuma cast further doubt on the legitimacy of the testimony at the Zondo commission of inquiry into state capture delivered by ANC member of parliament Vytjie Mentor last year.
Zuma denied meeting her at the Guptas' Saxonwold compound and on an international trip to China as Mentor had indicated. We look at some of the key points of Mentor’s testimony that were disputed by Zuma when he appeared before the commission this week. Mentor claimed that on a trip to China, which Zuma was also a part of, the former president had sent a message requesting to see her and she claimed to deny the invitation.
Earlier this week Zuma he was in the dark about the issue around requesting to meet Mentor in China. Despite Mentor’s claims that she was offered a ministerial position to become Public Enterprises Minister by the Guptas at their Saxonwold compound while Zuma was in the next room, the former president flatly denied the allegations when appearing before the commission saying that he had no recollection of the incident. Although this did not implicate Zuma directly, it did implicate his son.
