Zondo Commission Wants to Attack Zuma’s Credibility, Says Lawyer

Former president Jacob Zuma’s lawyer Dan Mantsha has accused the state capture commission of inquiry of asking his client questions with an intention to “attack his credibility”.

On Wednesday, Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo adjourned proceedings until Friday after Zuma’s legal team complained that their client had been brought in under false pretences.

Zuma’s legal team threatened to withdraw him from testifying, with advocate Muzi Sikhakhane SC saying that his client was being cross-examined on hearsay testimony.

Zuma’s legal team complained that evidence leader advocate Paul Pretorius SC was focusing on smaller details of former minister Barbara Hogan’s testimony that he had interfered to appoint Siyabonga Gama into the position of Transnet CEO.
