How many times did former president Jacob Zuma respond to questions at the state capture inquiry with 'I don't know', 'I don't remember' or 'I'm not sure'? We counted.
Zuma's testimony was cut short after he and his lawyers accused the commission's legal team of cross-examining him. On Friday, Zuma said he would withdraw from the commission. Later, however, he did a u-turn and said he would return at a later date, after reaching an agreement with the commission.
Among many other questions, Zuma was asked about the event which led to the redeployment of Maseko from GCIS to director general at the department of public services. Maseko told the commission that this resulted because of his refusal to heed the requests of Ajay Gupta, which would have seen him benefit unduly from government. Zuma denied this, claiming there had been a"shifting of other executives" and Maseko was not the only one to be redeployed.
Zuma denied instructing late minister of public service and administration Collins Chabane to move Maseko. "The minister Chabane had said he wanted to transfer Maseko, but I can't remember the details."
