The commission also indicated it will push for the court to institute a jail term against Zuma.


Cele is said to have spent three hours with Zuma. 


While the exact details of their conversations are not known, the police minister told reporters in a media briefing on Friday that he went to find out Zuma's concerns and raise his own.
