NATIONAL NEWS - President Jacob Zuma says that he will launch a judicial commission of inquiry into state capture.
However, he says that the commission will only be launched after judgment is handed down in his court bid to have part of former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela’s remedial action set aside.
He made the comments during his final question and answer session for the year in Parliament on Thursday.
Advocate Madonsela directed that a commission of inquiry be established but Zuma should not decide who will lead it.
Zuma argues that the Public Protector’s remedial action is unconstitutional because the power to appoint a commission vests with the president.
