Zuma refuses to answer to Parliament on Guptas and State Capture
14 November 2016
In 10 individual replies to DA written Parliamentary Questions, President Jacob Zuma has flatly refused to answer a wide range of questions pertaining to his role in State Capture in South Africa.
In a formulaic response to each of these questions, the Presidency states that the subject matter forms part of the Public Protector’s State of Capture report - which is “inconclusive” - and that President Zuma is still considering whether he will challenge the said report in court.
I submitted these written questions last month, when it emerged that Adv Madonsela posed these questions in written form to President Zuma on October 6, after he refused to answer them directly.
