SOUTH AFRICAN REPORT ON ZUMA-ERA GRAFT TO BE RELEASED TUESDAY

Security

The South African government on Friday said investigators will next week hand over their first report in a long-awaited probe into state corruption under former president, Jacob Zuma.

A minister in the presidency, Mondli Gungubele informed reporters that President Cyril Ramaphosa will on Tuesday formally receive the first part of the report of the judicial inquiry into allegations of state capture, corruption, and fraud.

He said the report will be released to the public either the same day or sometime during the week and the remaining two installments will be handed over in February.

Zuma, 79, is accused of enabling the plunder of state coffers during his nine years in office.

His tenure ended in February 2018 when he was forced out by the ruling African National Congress (ANC).

Before he left, he responded to mounting pressure by setting up an investigative commission, headed by Deputy Chief Justice, Raymond Zondo. The panel reportedly started hearing testimonies in August 2018.
