Zondo's criticism unfortunate, lacks merit: parliament's spokesperson

Zondo said he has not seen any change in parliament indicating that the institution would be able to identify and stop attempts to recapture the state.

Mothapo said parliament believed that using the established channels to address any concerns Zondo may have regarding parliament's implementation of the recommendations of the inquiry into allegations of state capture, which Zondo chaired, would have been more appropriate. He said it was crucial to provide parliament with the necessary space to fulfil its obligations, which it is implementing, guided by the recommendations of the commission.

“Furthermore, to strengthen oversight over the Presidency, parliament is further actively conducting research to explore international best practices. This work is vital in laying a solid foundation for enhanced oversight and accountability in relation to the Presidency, he said. He said these “decisive steps” taken by parliament demonstrate its dedication to implement the recommendations of the commission.

TimesLIVE reported earlier on Thursday that Zondo blamed the National Assembly for failing to prevent and end state capture as the ANC was against investigating the allegations of capture and the Gupta family.
