South Africans are reeling in the wake of the news published in Friday's Mail & Guardian about new evidence of President Jacob Zuma's shocking financial affairs.

Watch our weekly live video below, where we put your questions to the investigative team behind the report.

The report also makes it clearer than ever that the 2009 decision to drop corruption charges against Zuma was political rather than legal.
