Pityana, who has written an open letter to Zungu in his personal capacity, is also chair of AngloGold Ashanti and his own empowerment group Izingwe Capital. He was prominent in the campaign to remove former president Jacob Zuma from office. Pityana says he chose to write the letter to coincide with the summit, to urge BBC members to honestly reflect on the role the organisation played in state capture. The BBC was strongly supportive of Zuma and during his presidency its status soared, receiving privileged access to international platforms and state visits.
