It was all eyes on the Zondo Commission this week as, for the first time in the history of South Africa, a sitting President testified at a Commission of Inquiry.
President Cyril Ramaphosa s appearance at the Zondo commission dominated the news this week.
In his two-day appearance before Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, the President fielded questions around ANC s policies, role and oversight during the state capture years.
In a statement to Zondo, the party leader said state capture undermined the integrity and capability of public institutions and deeply damaged the effectiveness of the ANC.

Former Transnet Group CEO Siyabonga Gama says he does not know Gugu Gigaba, the sister of former cabinet minister Malusi Gigaba, and has never met her.
Gama continued his testimony before the state capture inquiry on Friday where he was asked questions related to evidence presented by Gigaba’s estranged wife, Norma Mngoma.
Mngoma testified last week that Gigaba told her in 2016 that he intended to speak to Gama about appointing his sister at Transnet.

Former Transnet Group chief executive Siyabonga Gama played the denial game at the Zondo commission on Friday, denying all allegations that were put to him by evidence leader advocate Anton Myburgh.
Gama fielded questions based on Norma Mngoma’s testimony from earlier in the week. He denied the allegation that he was involved in appointing Gugu Gigaba – former finance minister Malusi Gigaba’s sister – at Transnet.
Mngoma, the estranged wife of Gigaba, told the commission that Gama and her husband shared a close friendship and that it was Gama who had arranged a job at the parastatal for her sister-in-law.
