Former president Jacob Zuma has indicated his willingness to appear before the judicial commission of inquiry into state capture in July.
Peter Pedlar, the commission’s acting secretary reportedly sent Dan Mantsha — Zuma’s lawyer — a letter earlier this month inviting the former president to the commission and urging him to respond by no later than June 12. The commission further added that it would enable Zuma to give his side of the story in response to the testimonies in which he was implicated.Since the beginning of the inquiry in August 2018, Zuma has been implicated in a number of testimonies including those of ministers, officials from state-owned enterprises and former members of Parliament.The commission said that Zuma has not given a written undertaking that he will appear since the commission contacted his legal team on April 30.
The commission said that it is enough that he has been enabled to give his side of the story in response to witnesses who have implicated him and “the questions he will be asked will be confined to the issues covered in the statements or affidavits or evidence of those witnesses”.
