Mzwanele Manyi on Jacob Zuma's Absence from SONA: "Deliberate Move by the Judiciary" by Radio Islam

Former President Jacob Zuma has issued an ultimatum to the ANC demanding the reinstatement of his membership, which was terminated late last year. Zuma's attorneys have sent a letter to the ANC, citing procedural and substantive concerns regarding the party's disciplinary processes. For more Elvis Presslin spoke to Mzwanele Manyi, Spokesperson of the Jacob Zuma Foundation

Die voormalige president Jacob Zuma se prokureurs het 'n eisbrief geskryf aan die ANC, wat die herinstelling van sy lidmaatskap teen 31 Januarie vra. In November verlede jaar het die party se nasionale dissiplinêre appèlkomitee die besluit van die nasionale dissiplinêre komitee bevestig om Zuma uit te skop. Hy is geskors omdat hy die party se reputasie geskend het deur 'n mededingende party, MK, te stig en te lei. Die Jacob Zuma-stigting se woordvoerder, Mzwanele Manyi, sê hulle het prosedurele en wesenlike bekommernisse oor die ANC se prosesse.

Die EFF-leier, Julius Malema, sê die wete dat nie 'n enkele persoon wat die party die afgelope 11 jaar verlaat het daarna in die politiek geslaag het nie, laat hom lekker slaap. Die EFF het die afgelope paar maande 'n massa-uittog van hoëprofiellede ondervind toe onder andere Floyd Shivambu, Dali Mpofu, Mzwanele Manyi en Busisiwe Mkhwebane die party verlaat het. Malema het op die Hustlers Corner-potsending gesê hy is nie geskok oor al die mense wat besluit het om die party te verlaat nie.

Die MK-party-parlementslid Mzwanele Manyi het die EFF-leier Julius Malema se dreigement oor regstappe om die voormalige president Jacob Zuma se Nkandla-komplek te konfiskeer oor onbetaalde regsfooie afgemaak. Die geskil volg op spanning tussen die EFF en MK oor versekeie voormalige EFF-lede wat by MK aangesluit het. Manyi voer aan Zuma se eiendom is onder beskerming van die Ingonyama-trust en daar kan nie daarop beslag gelê word nie:

The uMkhonto weSizwe party says it will appeal the ruling interdicting impeached judge Dr. John Hlophe's participation on the Judicial Service Commission. Last Friday, the Western Cape High Court ruled in favour of the DA's urgent application dealing a blow to the MK party's interests. The MK party is also seeking the postponement of Judicial Service Commission sitting. For the latest on the appeal, Elvis Presslin spoke to MK Party Chief Whip, Mzwanele Manyi

ANC Youth League President Collen Malatji has described the uMkhonto weSizwe Party as a 'home for the corrupt' after several high-profile figures implicated in state capture were sworn in as MPs. Former Transnet executives Brian Molefe, Mzwanele Manyi and former Prasa chief executive Lucky Montana have joined the MK party founded by former President Jacob Zuma. Malatji has reiterated calls for ANC members charged with corruption to step aside, suggesting those who refuse should defect to the MK party. Elvis Presslin spoke to Zama Khanyase, spokesperson for the ANC Youth League

In his weekly take on political developments, United Independent Movement (UIM) President Neil de Beer slams the “cabal of people now cohorting into a public political party (MK) in Parliament”. He describes Jacob Zuma, Brian Molefe, Andile Mngxitama, Siyabonga Gama, Floyd Shivambu, Dr. John Hlope, Lucky Montana, and Mzwanele Manyi as among “the most unscrupulous accused people that harm this country on all levels of State Capture, SOE collapse, and debatably the country's collapse”. “That's your 10 Most Wanted poster right there.” As for the defection of Shivambu to MK from the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), De Beer says: “This was orchestrated, is orchestrated and planned.” Describing the battle to prosecute those fingered by the Zondo Commission, he points out: “We spent billions on the Zondo Commission, three years, more than 16 volumes and…some of them are sitting in MK.” De Beer also dissects the latest coalition dramas between the Democratic Alliance (DA) and other parties in metros and municipalities. He further gives his take on what Elon Musk might have gained from his X interview with former US President Donald Trump. And he analyses the bold moves to self-sufficiency by Burkina Faso President Ibrahim Traoré who has turned down help from both the West and the East.

Die leier van die EFF, Julius Malema, het sy onwrikbare verbintenis tot die party beloof en verklaar hy sal eendag met die EFF se vlag begrawe word. Dit volg na die bedanking van adjunkpresident Floyd Shivambu en Mzwanele Manyi, wat by Jacob Zuma se MK-party aangesluit het. Malema het lede verseker die party se hoofkwartier in Johannesburg bly oop en in bedryf. Hy beskryf wat Shivambu se bedanking vir hom beteken.

Former president Jacob Zuma has extended his trip to Moscow as the Department of Correctional Services (DCS) decides whether he should return to prison. News24 understands from two sources who have knowledge of Zuma's trip that he was meant to return on Tuesday, but that he extended the trip. He is seeking medical treatment in the Russian capital, although the details of his illness are unknown. The DCS said on Wednesday that the department was yet to decide on Zuma's fate. Jacob Zuma Foundation spokesperson Mzwanele Manyi confirmed that Zuma had not returned from Moscow. "I don't know when he will be coming back," he said. Manyi, who is also an Economic Freedom Fighters member of Parliament, said he did not know what Zuma's health condition was. A source said Zuma planned to return next Wednesday, but Manyi said he could not confirm when the former head of State would return. Last Thursday, the Constitutional Court dismissed the Department of Correctional Services' application for leave to appeal a Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) ruling that Zuma should return to prison. The apex court found the department's appeal "bears no reasonable prospect of success" and dismissed the application with costs. Zuma was jailed in July 2021 after he was sentenced to 15 months for contempt of the Constitutional Court after he refused to obey an order to appear before the Zondo Commission. However, hardly two months later, he was released on medical parole after then national commissioner of correctional services, Arthur Fraser, overruled the Medical Parole Advisory Board's (MPAB) recommendation that the former president did not qualify. The Democratic Alliance, AfriForum and Helen Suzman Foundation asked the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria to review Fraser's decision and set it aside, which it did. Zuma and the DCS then appealed, but the SCA upheld the High Court's decision. The SCA found Zuma "has not finished serving his sentence". It said: "He must return to the Estcourt Correctional Centre to do so. Whether the time spent by Mr Zuma on unlawfully granted medical parole should be taken into account in determining the remaining period of his incarceration, is not a matter for this court to decide." "It is a matter to be considered by the commissioner (Makgothi Thobakgale). If he is empowered by law to do so, the commissioner might take that period into account in determining any application or grounds for release." After the Constitutional Court's decision last week, the SCA's ruling stands.

Questions have been raised about former President Jacob Zuma's departure to Russia for medical treatment. This comes days after the Constitutional Court upheld a ruling by a lower court to set aside Zuma's medical parole. Elvis Presslin spoke to Mzwanele Manyi, Spokesperson for the Jacob Zuma Foundation... 

Former president Jacob Zuma is currently unwell and seeking medical assistance in Moscow, Russia, News24 has confirmed. This is as the Constitutional Court on Thursday dismissed the Department of Correctional Services' application for leave to appeal a Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) ruling that he must go back to prison. Two sources with direct knowledge of Zuma's trip said the former president had left on Monday for Moscow, where he was receiving medical treatment. He flew commercially to Russia, accompanied by six VIP protectors paid for by the state. Jacob Zuma Foundation spokesperson Mzwanele Manyi confirmed to News24 that the former president was in Moscow and was seeking medical assistance. "He went for medical check ups. He has not been feeling well," Manyi said. He is expected to return to South Africa next week. Zuma has long relied on the Russian healthcare system, ever since he was allegedly poisoned in 2014. In dismissing the application for leave to appeal Zuma's medical parole, the Constitutional Court said an appeal had "no reasonable prospects of success". This means the November judgment of the SCA, which said: "Mr Zuma, in law, has not finished serving his sentence. He must return to the Estcourt Correctional Centre to do so," stands. Zuma was jailed in July 2021 for 15 months for contempt of the Constitutional Court after he refused to obey an order to appear before the Zondo Commission. However, hardly two months later, he was released on medical parole after the then-national commissioner of correctional services, Arthur Fraser, overruled the Medical Parole Advisory Board's (MPAB) recommendation that the former president did not qualify for it. The Democratic Alliance, AfriForum and Helen Suzman Foundation asked the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria to review Fraser's decision and set it aside. Judge Elias Matojane found the decision unlawful. Manyi said the foundation would not comment on the Constitutional Court decision. "It was only DCS that appealed the SCA judgement, and H.E President Zuma only applied for leave to intervene as an interested party only if the appeal was to take place," he said.

Why was former president Nelson Mandela not called a flip-flopper, EFF leader Julius Malema wants to know. Malema believes if he is considered a flip-flopper, then so should Mandela — for “fitting the narrative of the white establishment” and making FW de Klerk his deputy. In an interview on the Sunday Times Politics Weekly podcast released on Sunday, Malema said there are no permanent enemies in politics and former president Jacob Zuma has never been his enemy. “I must treat Zuma different from how Mandela treated the enemy?” Malema asked. He was also asked about embracing the RET faction after Mzwanele Manyi recently joined the red berets and Malema confirmed he's in talks with expelled former ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule.

The Jacob Zuma Foundation is demanding President Cyril Ramaphosa withdraw what they term "his illegal and irrational" appointment of Chief Justice Raymond Zondo. President Ramaphosa appointed Zondo last year after consultation with the Judicial Service Commission and political party leaders in the National Assembly. The Zuma Foundation says Ramaphosa has until next week Thursday to withdraw the appointment or face legal action. For more on this, Elvis Presslin spoke to Mr. Mzwanele Manyi, Spokesperson for the Jacob Zuma Foundation

Clement speaks to Karyn Maughn, Legal journalist at News24; Mzwanele Manyi, Spokesperson for the Jacob Zuma Foundation and Mpumelelo Zikalala, a Legal Analyst at Zikalala Attorneys, reacting to President Cyril Ramaphosa's successful interdict, halting his prosecution in a case brought former President, Jacob Zuma.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Reacting to judgment in the President Cyril Ramaphosa and former president Jacob Zuma court case, former ANC member Carl Niehaus said the judiciary will lead the country to collapse. Ramaphosa had applied to the Johannesburg high court to set aside his prosecution as unconstitutional and unlawful. He asked the court to interdict any “further steps” in pursuing the prosecution and to excuse his appearance in court on January 19, as demanded by the former president. Zuma filed a case against Ramaphosa, arguing he is an “accessory after the fact” in relation to charges Zuma is pursuing against prosecutor Billy Downer and journalist Karyn Maughan. The court granted Ramaphosa the interdict which means he does not have to appear in the dock on Thursday. Jacob Zuma Foundation spokesperson Mzwanele Manyi said their suspicions were vindicated by the appointment of three judges instead of one. Manyi had said the appointment of a full bench confused and intrigued the foundation.

Jacob Zuma Foundation spokesperson Mzwanele Manyi believes Jacob Zuma's legal counsel has demolished Cyril Ramaphosa's arguments in court and says he is abusing presidency resources. The former president filed a case against the president arguing that Ramaphosa is an “accessory after the fact” in relation to charges Zuma is pursuing against prosecutor Billy Downer and journalist Karyn Maughan. Ramaphosa wants the court to set aside the prosecution as unconstitutional and unlawful. He has asked for an interdict to prevent any “further steps” in pursuing the prosecution and to excuse his appearance in the criminal court on January 19, as demanded in Zuma's summons. The president argues that Zuma brought the case with the ulterior purpose of ruining his chance of being re-elected president of the ANC. Former ANC member Carl Niehaus says he wants the president removed immediately.The interdict application judgment was reserved for Monday.

The Johannesburg high court will on Thursday hear President Cyril Ramaphosa's bid to interdict former president Jacob Zuma's case against him. Mzwanele Manyi, Jacob Zuma Foundation spokesperson, alleges suspicious moves by the justice system in the matter and says it seems as if there is an unspoken rule that Zuma must never win anything. On the eve of the ANC conference, Zuma initiated a private prosecution of Ramaphosa. The former president accused Ramaphosa of “being an accessory after the fact in the crimes committed by, among others, advocate [Billy] Downer, namely breaching the provisions of the NPA Act”. The interdict application brought by Ramaphosa argues that the case brought by Zuma is unconstitutional and unlawful, and the president wants to be excused from appearing in the dock on January 19.

Oudpresident Jacob Zuma wil President Cyril Ramaphosa nou ook privaat vervolg. Sy stigting het aangekondig die saak teen Ramaphosa sal op 19 Januarie volgende jaar in die Johannesburgse hooggeregshof begin. Zuma het reeds met privaat vervolging teen Downer begin oor die uitlek van sy mediese inligting. Hy woon van vandag af die 55ste nasionale konferensie van die ANC by. Mzwanele Manyi van die stigting sê Ramaphosa behoort in die tronk.

The Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein will hand down judgment on former President Jacob Zuma's medical parole appeal today. Zuma challenged the decision of the Pretoria High Court to set aside his medical parole. Our senior producer Ronald Phiri spoke to the spokesperson for the Jacob Zuma Foundation Mr. Mzwanele Manyi who is confident that the court will rule in Zuma's favor

Former president Jacob Zuma's private prosecution case against News24 journalist Karyn Maughan and state prosecutor, advocate Billy Downer will be heard in the Pietermaritzburg High Court today. Zuma opened a criminal complaint against Downer for allegedly leaking his confidential medical records to Maughan who then published the documents. The NPA declined to prosecute Downer for allegedly leaking the records and instead awarded Zuma a private prosecution certificate. For more on this, Elvis Presslin spoke to Mr. Mzwanele Manyi, Spokesperson for the Jacob Zuma Foundation

Oudpresident Jacob Zuma het 'n privaat vervolging van stapel gestuur teen staatsadvokaat, Billy Downer en die veteraan-joernalis, Karyn Maughan. Dit volg nadat Zuma se mediese rekords gepubliseer is, wat verlede jaar aangeheg is by hofstukke wat by die Hooggeregshof in Pietermaritzburg ingedien is. Downer is die aanklaer in Zuma se korrupsieverhoor. Die Jacob Zuma-stigting se woordvoerder, Mzwanele Manyi, beweer Downer het die inligting sonder magtiging aan Maughan uitgelek. Manyi sê hulle sal op die tiende van volgende maand in die Hooggeregshof verskyn:

Suspended Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane's latest report on former South African Revenue Service (SARS) official Ivan Pillay – who last week lambasted her investigations into SARS – has been invalidated "by agreement" with her office. The Gauteng High Court in Pretoria on Monday ordered that the report, which centred on an 18-year-old IT contract, "is reviewed, declared unlawful and set aside" in each instance where it related to Pillay. More damagingly for Mkhwebane, whose impeachment inquiry continues on Wednesday, the high court also found that the beleaguered Public Protector acted "in breach" of Pillay's constitutional rights by failing to provide him with: "any notice whatsoever of the investigation; "any of the rights to which he is entitled to in terms of section 7(9) of the Public Protector Act, 23 of 1994; and "any right to be heard on the remedial action that the first respondent contemplated granting against him." Given that Mkhwebane has routinely been lambasted by the courts for failing to afford the subjects of her most barbed investigations – including President Cyril Ramaphosa and Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan - these same rights, the high court's ruling is very likely to be part of the arsenal of evidence that she needs to address when she testifies at her impeachment inquiry. In her now partially invalidated report on the SARS' IT contract, Mkhwebane recommended that the Hawks consider investigating alleged criminal conduct by current and former SARS bosses, including Edward Kieswetter and Gordhan. She released that report on SARS' 2006 contract with software firm Budge, Barone & Dominick (BBD) less than three hours after the State Capture Inquiry found in its latest report that Gordhan was instrumental in resisting the Guptas' takeover of Treasury. The complaint of "maladministration, improper conduct and procurement irregularities" which prompted the probe, had been launched by former government spokesperson, and current Jacob Zuma Foundation frontman, Mzwanele Manyi, in 2016. While SARS had used a specific Treasury regulation, which provides for deviation from normal procurement processes without the need to put it out to tender, Mkhwebane said she "could not find compelling reasons for them to do so". The Public Protector Act also says that the Public Protector should not consider any complaint unless its reported within two years of the incident, barring special circumstances. Mkhwebane, in this case, said she was deviating from the two-year rule because of "special circumstances". While the Office of the Public Protector has yet to comment on the high court's ruling, Pillay's lawyers have released a statement, in which they noted that Mkhwebane's latest SARS report was the third in which she made adverse findings against Pillay. Both of the other two Public Protector reports that made findings against Pillay – including the so-called SARS "Rogue Unit" report and the report on his early retirement – have been overturned by the courts. "Testifying as a witness on Friday, in the proceedings of the Section 194 Parliamentary inquiry into the fitness of advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane to hold office, Mr. Pillay highlighted a litany of similar abuses of power in these investigations conducted by the Public Protector against him," his lawyers said.

Die Jacob Zuma-stigting het bevestig die voormalige president sal nie sy korrupsieverhoor bywoon nie. Die verhoor word na verwagting Maandag in die hooggeregshof in Pietermaritzburg hervat. Die woordvoerder van die stigting, Mzwanele Manyi, sê die hof het aangedui Zuma hoef nie te verskyn nie. Hy sê die hof sal net bepaal of die saak gereed is om voortgesit te word en of verdere datums bepaal moet word.

The African Transformation Movement, ATM is giving acting Public Protector Advocate Kholeka Gcaleka 24 hours to withdraw her letter to the Court which withdraws her office's applications to reverse Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane's suspension. The Public Protector's office has indicated through a statement that it will no longer fund Mkhwebane's court challenge but will fund her defense for her impeachment hearings. The ATM says Advocate Gcaleka has plunged the institution into another crisis of illegality. For more on this, Elvis Presslin spoke to Mr. Mzwanele Manyi, ATM's head of Policy

The Director of Public Prosecutions in KwaZulu Natal has issued former President Jacob Zuma with a nolle prosequi certificate. This is after the Public Prosecutions declined to prosecute Advocate Billy Downer due to insufficiency of evidence. The certificate allows individuals to institute private prosecution proceedings. For more on this, Elvis Presslin spoke to Jacob Zuma Foundation spokesperson Mr. Mzwanele Manyi

The Jacob Zuma Foundation says the former president is looking forward to the actual trail date of his corruption case at the High Court in Pietermaritzburg. This follows yet another postponement in the Zuma arms's deal case as the former president's reconsideration application to the Supreme Court of Appeals is still pending. Zuma wants Advocate Billy Downer to recuse himself from the case alleging that he is bias against him. Meanwhile, spokesperson for the Zuma foundation, Mzwanele Manyi says president Zuma is a small fry in this case as the real culprits are yet to be brought before court...

Die woordvoerder van die Jacob Zuma-stigting, Mzwanele Manyi, het ontken hy het staatskaping bevorder tydens die tydperk wat hy die bestuurshoof van die Regerings-kommunikasie-en-inligtingstelsel was. Manyi is in deel een van die staatskapingsverslag betrek vir sy rol daarin om advertensies ter waarde van miljoene rand aan die Guptas se koerant, The New Age, uit te deel. Die verslag het ook bevind die omstandighede rondom sy oorplasing na die GCIS, ná hy deur die departement van arbeid geskors is, was ook verdag.

'n Aansoek om verlof tot appèl teen die beslissing oor oud-president Jacob Zuma se mediese parool, is ingedien. Sy regspan het die aansoek gebring, nadat die besluit van die voormalige kommissaris van korrektiewe dienste, Arthur Fraser, om aan Zuma mediese parool toe te staan, in die Noord-Gautengse hooggeregshof in Pretoria onwettig verklaar is. Mzwanele Manyi van die Zuma-stigting sê hy glo die appèl sal in 'n hoër hof slaag.

The decision to release former president Jacob Zuma on medical parole will come under scrutiny in the Pretoria high court on Tuesday. The questions are to come from the DA, AfriForum and the Helen Suzman Foundation. Zuma's spokesperson Mzwanele Manyi, provided comment on the matter.

The Jacob Zuma Foundation says the former president took his complaints over the alleged leaking of his confidential medical records to the office of President Cyril Ramaphosa. Mzwanele Manyi says they had hoped he would intervene but since August, nothing has been done.

Former President Jacob Zuma opened a criminal case against National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) advocate Billy Downer on Thursday for allegedly making public affidavits that relate to Zuma's medical information. Zuma was accompanied to a Pietermaritzburg police station by his daughter Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla as well as his foundation's spokesperson Mzwanele Manyi. The foundation says Downer's alleged conduct breaches sections of the NPA Act. Reacting to the charge against Downer, the NPA said while the law must be allowed to follow its course, it was concerned about the context in which the charges were laid. “Adv Downer SC is a highly respected prosecutor who has carried himself with integrity throughout his career in the NPA. His reputation speaks for itself. All NPA prosecutors are required to act without fear and favour and should feel confident to deliver on their mandates without fear of intimidation. However, we will allow the Director of Public Prosecutions in KwaZulu-Natal to deal with the matter as and when she receives the case docket from the police,” the NPA said.

The Jacob Zuma Foundation has announced that the former president will lay criminal charges against State advocate Billy Downer for allegedly leaking affidavits containing information about his health. The charges will be laid on Thursday, according to foundation spokesperson Mzwanele Manyi. In a tweet on Wednesday, the foundation said: "As indicated in court on 22/09/21 H.E Prez (sic) Zuma will be laying criminal charges against adv Billy Downer for his admitted conduct which is in breach of Section 41 (6) read with [Section] 41 (7) of the NPA Act." The foundation invited the media to a briefing outside the Pietermaritzburg SAPS on Thursday at 13:00. During Zuma's court case last month, his advocate, Dali Mpofu, SC, said, "Former president Zuma takes the strongest possible exception to what was done with his confidential information and the way it was treated in this court." Mpofu said it amounted to "criminal activity", and added that Zuma wanted to lodge a complaint of prosecutorial misconduct against Downer with Judge Piet Koen, who is deciding his application for a special plea.

As scores of former president Jacob Zuma supporters were expected to descend to People's Park at the iconic Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Thursday, it remains to be seen whether the man of the hour will himself be present. Some family members who spoke to TimesLIVE on Wednesday said there was confusion over the planned “welcome prayer”, as the former head of state was expecting a visit from religious leaders at his homestead in Nkandla, in the heart of KwaZulu-Natal, on the same day. During a press briefing last week, Jacob G Zuma Foundation spokesperson Mzwanele Manyi said he could not confirm if Zuma would be at the event.

Former president Jacob Zuma has been released from prison on medical parole, the department of correctional services confirmed on Sunday.  This comes 58 days after he was admitted as an inmate at the Estcourt Correctional Services facility in KwaZulu-Natal. Jacob G Zuma Foundation spokesperson Mzwanele Manyi, provides context on the current situation.

Former president Jacob Zuma has refused to allow NPA doctors to examine him, his foundation said, accusing the state of “second-guessing” the state of his health. The Pietermaritzburg high court previously ordered that a medical practitioner appointed by the state be allowed access to Zuma to assess his fitness to attend court and stand trial on corruption charges linked to the arms deal. Zuma has been in a medical facility outside Estcourt Correctional Centre receiving treatment. The former president is facing 16 counts of fraud, corruption, money laundering and racketeering. On Tuesday, Jacob G Zuma Foundation spokesperson Mzwanele Manyi questioned why the state wasn't relying on the report by military doctors, which was submitted to the court last week. He says the court has no right to force Zuma to consent to a medical examination. 

Former president Jacob Zuma will have his in-person court hearing next week Tuesday, following a directive that the matter involving him and the Thales Group will be heard in an open court in the Pietermaritzburg High Court. The decision comes after a ruling against an application by prosecutor advocate Billy Downer, who wanted the matter to be held virtually like before. For more on this here is the spokesperson for the Jacob Zuma Foundation, Mzwanele Manyi...

ANC national chairperson Gwede Mantashe has started testifying before the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture in Parktown, Johannesburg. This after GCIS head Mzwanele Manyi concluded his testimony by saying that his dismantling of the bid adjudication committee at government communication did not flout any regulations. Manyi previously testified that upon arriving at GCIS he found a "mini VBS" taking place. Manyi says all his changes were above board. He earlier requested that evidence leader advocate Vincent Maleka recuse himself saying he is biased against him. Meanwhile commission chairperson and Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo has warned against the intimidation of witnesses.

The commission of inquiry into State Capture in Johannesburg has heard how former Communications Faith Muthambi used to bully acting GCIS head, Phumla Williams in 2014. Williams who was giving evidence to the commission on friday also explained how former Head of GCIS, Themba Maseko was dismissed from his job and replaced with Mzwanele Manyi the same day. Williams says the abrupt changes at the GCIS had a big impact on the morale of staff.
