Newsflash:

The show must go on... how many more millions will be required this time around? Five to six witnesses... The last time the commission applied to be extended, it was told to be the last time.

To be honest, this is an expensive rodeo, and only the ANC Presidential cohort will know how long they will ponder over the report. I am sure the state would like this to be pushed back, especially beyond the elections, due to their anti-corruption campaign.

Zuma wants to see justice being done for all South Africans, says Mzwanele Manyi​


...

According to Manyi, Zuma actually wanted to appear before the commission and neither was he running away from being prosecuted nor using Stalingrad tactics in the corruption case against him.

"It's just that Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, who chairs the commission, and advocate Billy Downer, SC, who leads his prosecution, are conflicted.

People still buying this?

Table

"The time has come for president Zuma's side of the story to be put on the table," he said, alleging the media had not been covering his remonstration against Zondo and Downer fairly.

"You, as the media, has not been forthcoming on what president Zuma has been saying," Manyi added, saying the media had done everything it could to "suppress president Zuma's viewpoint'.

He said Zuma wanted to go to the commission, but only if Zondo was not chairing the session.

At his next appearance in court on the corruption charges related to the arms deal on 19 July, Zuma would spill the beans on the political plot against him, Manyi added.

"President Zuma is someone who wants to see justice being done," he alleged, saying Zuma had been fighting his whole life towards this objective.

"He is doing this not just for himself, but the people of South Africa, to say there must be justice. Right now, he sees another miscarriage of justice."

My popcorn went stale years ago.

Well Zuma is on social media. Why doesn't he put forward his unvarnished version of events on there if he thinks the media are out to get him? And with Jimmy in his corner he has the best zuptoid spin doctor in the house.

If Ramapoesa was so against corruption why are Jacob and Ace still walking free? Ramapoesa is just a smoke screen for the anc to keep on stealing.

Your problem is that you don't understand how the New Dawn works.

jail him, I say, and let's close this thread
:cautious:
As things are going now I doubt that Zuma will return to prison. The biggest turnabout would be to see the Guptas extradited, maybe some beans will spill then. I have a idea that the ANC will also long sit on the Zondo Commission report.

There is no shown commitment to urgency. See how long the ConCourt is undecided on whether Zuma is in contempt.
