NATIONAL NEWS - Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane has called for a broadening of the scope of the investigation into state capture.
President Jacob Zuma appointed a commission of inquiry on Tuesday to be headed by deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo after a year of resistance.
A report compiled by former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela looked into whether the controversial Gupta family had undue influence on the state as a result of their closeness to the president.
The Public Protector's Cleopatra Mosana says that Mkhwebane wants to ensure that the state of capture commission of inquiry is not limited to the issues identified in the initial report.
"Terms of reference should be broadened to ensure that we are able to check all the maladministration relating to any issues that are regarding to any impropriety."
