In a handed over report by the acting Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, South Africa’s former head of state Jacob Zuma has been slammed for his actions in giving the ropes to the Guptas to capture the state.
The defiant Zuma, only appeared once at the Zondo Commission, and failed to appear to the commission, and this led to his incarceration in late July last year.
Zuma claimed that he has “not done anything wrong” despite being jailed, yet many people end up in prison not strictly for committing crime but for the presence of the prison-industrial complex (PIC), which gained a significant footprint during his term in office.
The former president actively advanced the interests of the Gupta family in assisting them to capture the South African state at the expense of the people of South Africa, the Zondo Commission found.
It stated he involved himself in the operational matters of entities such as the SA Revenue Service (SARS) and Eskom, colluded with the private sector to capture institutions of state and was prepared to throw loyal civil servants under the bus in service of his pact with the Guptas.
