Jacob Zuma, the man at the centre of the Gupta family's capture of the SA state, was expected to supply his first reaction to the findings of the state capture commission on Saturday.

Zuma, who has denied any wrongdoing, testified for less than three days at the Zondo commission before refusing to return. He ignored summonses and a Constitutional Court order to testify, and last June the ConCourt sentenced him to 15 months' imprisonment for contempt.

The Pretoria high court rescinded his parole but he remains a free man because his appeal has yet to be heard. Continuing the media briefing, JG Zuma Foundation spokesperson Mzwanele Manyi called Zondo's report"unlawful" and"irrational" and mounted a savage attack on the chief justice, saying he was not fit even to be a judge.

Manyi said the “unlawful report of the unlawful commission” was full of innuendo, gossip and conjecture. It was unclear what Zondo had actually done over nearly half a decade at a cost of R2bn, he said.He said Zuma had briefed his legal team to report Zondo to the Judicial Service Commission and to look into other steps it could take against him, including challenging his appointment as chief justice. The lawyers would also be looking at taking the report on review.
