Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa says the state capture inquiry will reveal the depth of corruption South Africa's state own entities.
Ramaphosa was answering a question at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Thursday with regards to the Terms of Reference, gazetted on Thursday.
Among others, the inquiry will investigate claims made by former deputy finance minister Mcebisi Jonas and former MP Vytjie Mentor that they were offered cabinet positions by members of the Gupta family.
It will also look into allegations of irregularities in the awarding of contracts, mining licences and government advertising in the New Age newspaper and any other government services.

Ramaphosa says he needs time to read the report and see the extent of which it enables the inquiry to do its job.
He says other positives include the fact that there will be an independent judge presiding over the case and this process will go along in tandem with the process that needs to be followed by the criminal justice system.
"Where wrong has been committed, it must followed through and those who have committed it must be brought to book," Ramaphosa concluded.
