Chief Justice Raymond Zondo will meet with National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula and NCOP chairperson Amos Masondo.Parliament's presiding officers will meet with Chief Justice Raymond Zondo on Wednesday afternoon.Parliament reacted with shock and objected to this statement.

"The meeting follows concerns raised by the chief justice regarding the institution's implementation of the Judicial Commission [of Inquiry] into State Capture recommendations on Corruption and Fraud in the Public Sector, Including Organs of State," reads a statement from Parliament. Zondo asked:"If another group of people were to do exactly what the Guptas did to pursue state capture, Parliament would still not be able to stop it. That is simply because I have seen nothing that has changed.

Parliament has also been sluggish in dealing with the report's recommendations, with the National Assembly rules committee not meeting in the first quarter of the year and bucking the recommendation to establish a committee to oversee the Presidency by insisting on a"study tour" to the UK.
