NATIONAL NEWS - Former president Jacob Zuma’s lawyers have confirmed that their client will not be appearing before the Commission of Inquiry Into Allegations of State Capture on Monday.
Zuma was scheduled to appear before the commission from 15 February 2021 to 19 February 2021.
In a letter to the commission, Zuma’s lawyers said he was still waiting for the outcome of his Pretoria High Court application challenging Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo’s decision in November 2020 not to rescue himself from hearing Zuma’s testimony.
The Constitutional Court (ConCourt) ruled in January that Zuma should appear before the commission and answer questions put to him, but he has vowed not to appear.
