StateCaptureInquiry Judge Zondo: 'I will have the final word on Jacob Zuma's appearance'

Jacob Zuma's lawyers have taken exception to him being asked to appear before the Zondo commission when 'his current ill health precludes him from appearing'. They say he will be well enough in March.The chairman of the commission of inquiry into state capture, deputy chief justice Raymond Zondo, and the commission's legal team have accepted that former president Jacob Zuma is ill and will not be able to appear before them this month.

Zuma offered to grant Zondo access to his medical records but the commission's chair was not comfortable with this."From what I have been told in the affidavit, it seems what he is offering me to see may reveal his illness, and I have some discomfort having to see anybody’s information relating to their illness.

Time both were jailed for abuse of the system.
