Jacob Zuma, testifying before the Zondo commission into state capture, said there was “no problem” with “loyalty to the ANC” as being one of the prerequisites for individuals being appointed to the boards of SOEs

“That is a universal thing, parties throughout the world - when they win elections they bring their own people [in]. People who will support and take their policies forward. You cannot take people who don’t like the party to come and work for the party…it goes without saying,” said Zuma.

During her testimony in November last year, Hogan criticised not only the ANC’s deployment committee, but also Zuma of meddling in SOE appointments. Hogan’s explosive testimony outlined the “challenges” that she faced during her tenure while she was minister from 2009 to 2010. Not disputing that appointments to key positions in SOE during his tenure as president could have been made based on party affiliation and loyalty, Zuma challenged Hogan’s submission saying he had not sought to influence anyone on his preference of Gama nor any other candidate.
