Zuma accuses Zondo of being unfair as testimony halted on day 3

JOHANNESBURG – The second half of former President Jacob Zuma’s third day of testifying at the state capture commission on Wednesday saw deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo once again being accused of being unfair and the proceedings adjourned until Friday.Zuma’s legal team accused the Zondo commission of summoning Zuma under “false pretenses.

Sikhakhane also said it was not fair for the commission to question Zuma, who was head of the state, on the processes of selecting and appointing people for government positions.Following the 30-minute adjournment, which lasted for more than an hour, Zondo came back to announce that the proceedings would be adjourned to Friday after concerns raised by Zuma and his legal team.

“Now I need him to make up his mind whether he wants to be cross-examined because it is clear, it’s just been confirmed, that he is being cross-examined,” Sikhakhane said.
