ANALYSIS: Manuel on Zuma’s abdication of duty – and how the Guptas took power | PieterDuToit
OVERVIEW: 'There is nothing Trevor Manuel said about me that is untruthful' - Mbalula willing to testify at #StateCaptureInquiry
He told Zondo about the culture and norms established by former president Nelson Mandela, and how those conventions continued to become entrenched in the democratic dispensation under the presidency of Thabo Mbeki. Manuel told the commission how Fikile Mbalula, who was removed from Cabinet by President Cyril Ramaphosa, became emotional during a"tense discussion" about the influence that the Guptas started to exert on government and party.
The former finance minister, credited with leading the team that first stabilised the national finances post-apartheid and then putting the economy on a steady growth path, was an uneasy participant in the post-Polokwane purge of the ANC, having opposed Zuma's election. His testimony and his statements were considered and devoid of emotion and drama, as it befits the finance minister of old.
