Themba Maseko contradicts Zuma on removal from GCIS | IOL News

Johannesburg - Former GCIS CEO Themba Maseko has contradicted former president Jacob Zuma's testimony on why he was suddenly removed from the helm of the government agency to another government department.

Maseko returned to the inquiry on Wednesday. He first appeared last year and detailed how he was removed from GCIS because he would not assist the Gupta family to access government advertising spend. Last year he told the commission that he had been approached by Ajay Gupta who shared his newspaper's interest in accessing advertising spend which stood at R600 million.

He said he fought off attempts and had even been called by Zuma before his meeting with Gupta. Zuma, according to Maseko, indicated that Maseko should help the Guptas. Maseko also testified that former minister in the president Collins Chabane had approached him in late January 2011 and informed him that Zuma wanted him out as the head of GCIS.

This commission needs to just end. It's useless in its current form 😐 CyrilRamaphosa MYANC

No records approving Maseko transfer from GCIS, Presidency tells Zondo InquiryFormer President Jacob Zuma told the commission earlier this year that the decision to replace Themba Maseko with Mzwanele Manyi was approved by Cabinet in February 2011. I'm waiting for the day there will be judgements for people lying under oath...put these so called 'leaders on a lie detector while on the StateCaptureInquiry and expose their lies same time.. stop wasting our time qnd screenplay with lies...Kwanele So Zuma once again lied with the hopes that no one would remember or the lies wouldn’t be cross checked. But he forgets, they pretended and lied for him while he was still president. The “fire pool” days are long gone. If Justice Zondo wanted to know reasons why former Pres Zuma is going to be sick next week, hence he won't appear...today's testimony provides reasons.
