Jacob Zuma was top of the agenda at the first sitting of the State Capture Commission for the year 2020.That’s according to his legal representatives who say Zuma is receiving medical treatment from outside the country.But the Commission and Zuma’s lawyers agreed that the arguments be heard at a later stage. The State Capture Inquiry resumed on Tuesday morning.The Commission’s legal team was on a mission to subpoena the former president to return before the Zondo commission.

Evidence leader Paul Pretorius expressed the urgency of Zuma’s return to the witness stand. But Zuma’s lawyers argued that it was unfair to summon the former president while he was still receiving medical treatment. Zuma’s lawyer Thabani Masuku says: “I would urge this Commission particularly the leaders of the legal team to extend to us and our client the presumption of integrity.”Former spokesperson in the presidency, Simons Brent made a second appearance at the inquiry.

He revealed that the former president lied to Parliament when he said he never asked anyone to assist his family members. The Commission also heard evidence around the controversial Waterkloof landing of the Gupta family’s Sun City wedding party in 2013.

Well I see Butternut has the capacity to learn. Using the Shabir defense now I see. His health is failing. Why is he not recieving treatment here or is he also not supportive of NHI. Wonder what Zweli would say about this.

DAYS OF ZONDO: Commission moves to summon Zuma as stakes increaseOn Tuesday, evidence leaders at the Zondo commission will argue that Jacob Zuma must be issued with a summons to return and give testimony.

They must get on with it and get the jail ready for him and all the rest. We will never forget how much has been stolen from us. Former President has to comply under oath and release the secrets. Or submit papers 'affidavits' to the commision of enquiry. There is a lot he knows that SA needs to know. Zuma illness coming!
