Nzimande rubbishes Zuma's views on state capture
18 September 2018
SACP general secretary Blade Nzimande has accused former president Jacob Zuma of confusing people with his recent comments on state capture.
Last week Zuma hit out at the state capture commission of inquiry, insisting that no arm of state in SA had been captured and that it was just a "politically-decorated expression".
"A state is composed of three elements: The legislature, executive and judiciary… that constitutes the state," Zuma told students toward the end of his address on free education at Walter Sisulu University in Mthatha, in the Eastern Cape last Wednesday.
"Does it mean that these three arms are captured? Is it true?" he asked.
