Zuma need not fear telling the truth at Zondo commission, say analysts | IOL News

Johannesburg - Former president Jacob Zuma should not be worried about appearing before the state capture commission if he is prepared to tell the truth. This is the view of political analysts Ralph Mathekga and Thabani Khumalo.

The high court in Durban ruled that Zuma had to apologise to former minister Derek Hanekom and remove his defamatory tweet posted in July. Mathekga said: “It’s a very strange defence; one presumes that the truth is the truth, no matter where you say it. Khumalo echoed Mathekga’s sentiments and said by this argument, Zuma could be up to his “old tricks” of trying to avoid answering questions from the commission.
