The danger is to ‘over-zumanise’ state capture — it is bigger than that; it is systemic, he says

Jonas took to the stand for a second time on Friday at the state-capture commission of inquiry, which sits in Johannesburg, where he will be cross-examined by lawyers representing former president Jacob Zuma’s son Duduzane and businessman Fana Hlongwane. Before cross-examination started on Friday, Jonas dealt with the relationship between party and state, saying there was no strong line between the two in SA, which has been governed by the ANC since 1994. He said the commission should try and find an answer as to how a wall could be drawn between the party and the state.
“The danger, I would still argue, with the process of state capture — can I use the term to ‘over-zumanise’ it? To think that it was about Zuma, that would be the biggest mistake. It is bigger. It is structural. It is systemic. You will miss the point if you do that,” Jonas told the commission.
