South African president to appear before Zondo Commission in April
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa will appear before the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into Allegations of State Capture (Zondo Commission) in April, according to the commission.
The Chairman of the commission, Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, said on Wednesday that Ramaphosa would appear before the inquiry wearing his current African National Congress (ANC) cap.
Zondo said Ramaphosa had indicated that he would be available when asked to come.
“He indicated that he would be ready to come and testify once I had determined the dates,’’ Zondo added.
The commission was probing allegations of looting and corruption which resulted in billions being stolen during Jacob Zuma’s tenure as president.
A number of senior officials including Zuma, his former cabinet members and CEOs of state-owned entities have been implicated.
Meanwhile, the commission was taking legal actions against Zuma after he refused to appear before the commission and respond to allegations made against him by more than 34 witnesses.
The case regarding this would be heard on Thursday this week.
