Zuma to appear before state capture commission in July

Former president Jacob Zuma has agreed to make himself available to the Commission of Inquiry into Allegations of State Capture in July.

However, there is no guarantee that the former head of state would testify or answer any questions when he appeared between 15 and 19  July, The Business Day reported quoting Zuma’s lawyer Daniel Mantsha.

Zuma, who has until now refused to answer specific questions on alleged state capture during his term in office, has been implicated by several witnesses including including former GCIS director-general Themba Maseko and former Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene.

The Commission had threatened to subpoena Zuma if he failed to appear.

The Commission has also refused Zuma’s request to be notified of questions beforehand,
