No conflict of interest in my involvement with ANN7, says Duduzane Zuma
Former president Jacob Zuma’s son Duduzane has disputed former ANN7 editor Rajesh Sundaram’s testimony that there was a conflict of interest in his involvement at Gupta-owned news channel, ANN7.
Duduzane Zuma took to the stand at the commission of inquiry into state capture on Monday for the first time since the commission began.
His testimony comes after he was implicated in state capture by former government officials, including former finance minister Mcebisi Jonas, as well as former cabinet minister Ngoako Ramatlhodi and former ANC MP Vytjie Mentor.

During his testimony, Duduzane Zuma confirmed to the commission that he owned a 30% stake in Infinity Media, which also owned TNA and ANN7.
He further confirmed that ANN7 received government funding.
Duduzane denied that it constituted a conflict of interest on his part.
He is expected to be back on the stand on Tuesday morning when he is set to conclude his testimony.
