LIVESTREAM: Zuma in the hot seat at the Zondo Commission

Zuma is reportedly the commission’s most implicated witness.
Former president Jacob Zuma rejected outright attempts on Monday by the ANC top six leaders to secure an agreement from him to appear before the Zondo commission into state capture.

Former president Jacob Zuma is expected to appear before the commission of inquiry into state capture on Monday.

Zuma is reportedly the commission’s most implicated witness. In January, Daily Maverick reported that the former president had been served with the highest number of notices that he had been implicated in individual statements.

In a statement, the commission said Zuma had been asked to respond to the evidence of “certain identified witnesses”.

Those identified by the commission include former government spokesperson Themba Maseko, former ANC MP Vytjie Mentor, former finance minister Nhlanhla Nene, Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula, former mineral resources minister Ngoako Ramatlhodi and his former adviser Mahlodi Muofhe, and former and present public enterprises ministers Barbara Hogan and Pravin Gordhan.

Watch the livestream of the inquiry here at 10am.
