Zuma's son denies Panday ties
Durban – President Jacob Zum's son, Edward, has distanced himself from controversial Durban businessman Thoshan Panday.
His denials came on Wednesday after News24 published the contents of a secret draft audit report that found that key police officials in the province had allegedly been bribed by Panday."I have never been his business partner, nor am I his friend," Zuma junior said.
"I just know him as another Durban businessman like any other, and knowing him does not make him my business partner."
His stance stands in contrast to a range of media reports that linked him to Panday.
Moreover, Panday was one of about 500 guests who attended Edward Zuma's glitzy wedding in October 2011.
