The Commission of inquiry into State Capture will today (Friday) hear an application by the Commission's Legal Team for an order authorising the Secretary of the Commission to issue a summons for Jacob Zuma.

He says answering questions from the State Capture Commission from the 16th to the 20th of November will be an in-convenience. In a statement released by the JG Zuma Foundation yesterday, Zuma expressed concern that his plea for the recusal of Zondo has fallen on deaf ears.
