Zuma promises to establish State capture commission
President Jacob Zuma has wrapped up his final question and answer session in the National Assembly but not without some political drama.
Among other things, Zuma reiterated his position on setting up a commission to investigate state capture allegations - saying it will be established only if his court application to review and set aside the public protector's remedial action is successful.
COPE asked the president why the establishment of the commission isn't being treated as a matter of urgency. Zuma explained why he's waiting.
"Whilst the matter is being handled in court, I established another parallel process. That is what has made me wait until there is a judgement. I'm ready after the judgement - I'm going to establish it immediately. All these issues are going to be brought to that commission so that we can prove the lies from the truth," he says.
