JOHANNESBURG - Jacob Zuma, unseated as South African president last year over corruption allegations, will attend a judicial inquiry into government graft during his tenure even though he believes it is prejudiced against him, his lawyer said.
Zuma’s African National Congress party forced him to step down in February 2018 after years in office marked by a succession of scandals and economic decline. “He is going to the commission as invited” from July 15-19, Zuma’s lawyer Daniel Mantsha said on Tuesday. The letter did not specify if Zuma would testify or answer questions. It described last week’s invitation from the commission for Zuma to attend - in which it said he had been implicated in graft by at least nine witnesses - as part of a “disinformation campaign”.The inquiry’s primary brief is to investigate allegations of corruption, notably at state firms Eskom and South African Airways, which are in drowning in debt after years of mismanagement.
