JOHANNESBURG – Supreme Court Vice President Raymond Zondo says former President Jacob Zuma must appear before the commission because there are critical questions he must answer.
The commission is expected to finish its work in March, but may need three more months.
“The reason we need him is more because the commission needs to ask him questions on various issues that arise from the evidence provided by various witnesses,” Zondo said.
“If we had no questions for him and he didn’t want to be heard, we might have left him alone.
“There are witnesses who have given evidence that raised certain questions and the commission wishes to put those questions to you, as to what your role may have been in various things and with respect to various transactions and issues.”

Meanwhile, Zondo says the state’s capture investigation report will be credible, even without the Guptas’ testimony.
He says he doesn’t expect them to come to the country anytime soon.
