Commission may only investigate Zuptas, says Madonsela
10 January 2018
Cape Town - Former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela says Deputy Chief Justice Ray Zondo's commission of inquiry may only focus on state capture allegedly committed by the Zuma and Gupta families.
Madonsela spoke to News24 after President Jacob Zuma's announcement of the establishment of the Zondo Commission on Tuesday evening.
"I welcome the president's announcement. It is two years too late, if you look at when the first whistle-blowing happened, and more than a year after I had asked him to establish a commission. But better late than never," Madonsela said.
Madonsela says although evidence may have been compromised, the situation "can still be salvaged".
