Ramaphosa likely to blame Zuma for state capture - analyst
Political analyst Dirk Kotze believes President Cyril Ramaphosa is likely to blame former president Jacob Zuma for the African National Congress’ (ANC) participation in state capture.
Ramaphosa is set to face the commission of inquiry into state capture in his capacity as ANC president on Wednesday morning.
Kotze says Ramaphosa will at the commission try to spin the party’s damaged image.
"I think he is going to present it as something that took place solely during the time of Jacob Zuma and when he took over it was as if it was a new entity that took over," says Kotze.
Kotze adds that it would be interesting to see how Ramaphosa would be probed by the commission's investigators "as a president or another witness”.
The president is expected to face the commission on Wednesday and Thursday.
