Zuma to testify at Zondo commission
Former president Jacob Zuma's lawyer Daniel Mantsha has confirmed that Zuma will testify at the commission of inquiry into state capture month.
Zuma is set to appear before the commission between July 15 and 19.
He has been implicated by several witnesses including former ANC MP Vytjie Mentor and former and current ministers Nhanhla Nene, Pravin Gordhan, Barbara Hogan, and Fikile Mbalula.

Zuma is accused of giving the reigns to the Gupta brothers during his presidency to appoint certain people into cabinet positions to benefit the family.
Last week, the State Capture Commission threatened to subpoena him if he fails to appear as he had not given an indication on whether he will in six weeks.
The commission said Zuma wanted the questions he would be asked beforehand. However, it said he had no right to be furnished with questions as his lawyers have already been given a section 3.3 notice according to the commission's rules which contains affidavits of all the persons who have implicated him.
