"The decision that the former president would no longer participate in proceedings is withdrawn," Commission chair, Justice Raymond Zondo said. 

The teams have been at loggerheads since Monday when Zuma first appeared before the commission.

Zuma and his lawyers have accused the commission of unfair bias and questioning that amounts to cross-examination.

His legal team announced this morning that the former president would be pulling out of the proceedings.

Commission chair, Justice Raymond Zondo has announced an agreement has since been reached.

"It has been agreed that the way in which the former president's concerns may be taken care of is that the Commission's legal team will indicate to [Zuma's] legal team what the Commission's areas of interest are in each witness statement on which the Commission would like the former president to testify."
