a conflict between his private interest and he's of a shared responsibilities the public protector says she has evidence that as much as $28000000.00 was channeled through various campaign trust and other beneficiary accounts linked to rama porsche and good one this is from a poor search should have declared the donations to avoid a conflict of interest she wants both the president and c.e.o. of the company gavin watson investigated for money laundering this is gone beyond the parameters of simply a parliamentary misdemeanor it has got into the realms of criminal justice and certainly it will provide ammunition for several romal pools as enemies within them within the a.n.c. who we know are many to go after his continued leadership of the party the public protector's verdict means that i'm up or so i will have to declare all donations to his campaign within 30 days the president says he'll study the report and make a decision on any further action corruption continues to be an issue the governing

african national congress is battling not only is president so. from a process facing a scandal of his own his predecessor president jacob zuma is appearing somewhat say reluctantly before a commission of inquiry into state corruption during his 9 years in office zuma concluded his 4th day of testimony after withdrawing from proceedings saying he was being treated unfairly but later said he would return to the witness stand while solved africans are looking for answers the promise of a corruption free south africa appears to be elusive leader mullah al jazeera pretoria south africa. joining us now from gauteng province is caleb olga point he has a political science professor at the university of south africa thank you very much for speaking to us on the news out there were hearing anthony does report that corruption is appears to be the biggest challenge facing the a.n.c.

right now how serious are these allegations against president. these allegations are very serious in my view miriam because as you heard in that leigh obviously corruption has been one of the major issues in there recently you know how the elections in may to indian indian and it was one of those issues that at present sitaram of course was competing was based on in other words he was running allies here on an anti corruption ticket given what's all of your experience in the past 9 yes so this years these allegations are very serious and they're quite. 6 of in nature that can upset a cut in terms of both the party that is leading the african national congress and of course in terms of his popularity out there especially for those people who feel that when the boys are. cleaning the mess is that recorded quote created by east pretty says. in terms of jacob zuma and his apparent says in court there are those

who say he has been unfairly targeted and that he is not being treated fairly you also have supporters of run opposing to say that these allegations of politically motivated what how would you describe the general sentiment amongst the broader public in south africa how do they view this in simple terms of to summarize that as a divided to mixed opinion public opinion because as you rightly point out of the out those support us if 7 support us and ones might say who believe that he's being unfairly targeted in his victimizes a victim of what he himself calls political conspiracy you know there is this this this sort of thing as far biggest in 1000 ninety's during b.s. about the best and instructor again those. who believe that he's with the case go on and ask you i demand that you know they whose wealth they touch as it is called

. or mullet decision his management have to point directly to the wall and therefore he cannot play the victim and. the fates what i gave you in the justifiable accusations and allegations. we've got local elections coming up in 2021 and then national elections shortly after that does that give the a.n.c. a few years to repair this damage. in my view there too will give in see very little time and you know to repair the damage already we have seen the impact of the damage or the effects of the damage of the previous era in one years of prison jacob zuma in the last you know elections in may when the agency you know failed to you know to achieve 60 percent just just in the under 60 as is the case and 57 percent of their vote that they're not so if you don't extend i think that

there will be little time between the local government elections of 2021 or the next in the snowed in the relations in 2023 because currently their party is you know seemingly erupt out and they actually. said to have their functions and misfortunes are very very difficult to repair one would have thought that there there would not be in this condo at least. if we fall off a scandal such as what is going to be about to unfold in terms of the latest accusations of the prison from a poster size that this will give him time it released to put the party to get a bring it together make sure that you know he brings unity and they're full of it you know it is done what many believe and the party has been facing since you know jacob zuma was leading the party seems to in 2009 thank you very much for joining us kalibo got my point here from the university of south africa thank you

the netherlands supreme court has ruled that dutch peacekeepers were partly liable for the deaths of $350.00 muslim refugees they handed over to bosnian serb forces in trepanning in 1905 a case is groundbreaking and might set an international legal precedent for countries which contribute troops to peacekeeping operations but the court also reduced the degree of state identity from 30 percent to 10 percent angering the relatives of the victims paul brennan reports. the bereaved relatives of the mothers of srebrenica group of 40 for more than 2 decades for justice emerging from court they were bitterly disappointed and i know i'm shaken i'm surprised but i will never forgive them i will never let go of this. at potter chary server need said july 995 a crisis became a massacre thousands of terrified muslim civilians crammed into the un compound seeking refuge and when serbian forces entered the town for 400 dutch un

peacekeepers were outgunned and outnumbered women and men were separated and the only 8000 men and boys were taken away and murdered the supreme court case focused on 350 muslim men with the dutch peacekeepers had handed over to the serbs despite knowing the man would probably be murdered but the judges estimated that the men would have had only a 10 percent chance of survival even if they'd been allowed to stay inside the un compound the outcome is that the state bears very limited responsibility in the case of the mothers of subject matter. the responsibility of the liability is limited to 10 percent of the damages suffered by the remaining relatives of $350.00 male refugees who were staying at the compound of dutch about the dutch case is regarded as groundbreaking in establishing that governments can be held liable if the peacekeepers they send on un missions fail to protect civilians during armed

conflicts but it's also being legally controversial on the dutch advocate general had called the liability irrational the claimants believe it's the 10 percent decision that's irrational oh and dared whatever those are called they admitted 10 percent of liability but that still means that the admitted responsibility of the defense ministry of the netherlands and their government are responsible for genocide in srebrenica it doesn't matter one percent 10 percent or 100 percent they are responsible it's not clear what level of financial compensation the relatives might finally get that will be decided in a separate court case paul brennan al-jazeera you know the developments kosovo's prime minister is resigning for a 2nd time because he's jew in front of a war crimes court in the netherlands next week high during i called on kosovo to hold a snap election to find a replacement for him deny was a rebel commander in the cost of the liberation army chairing its violent struggle for independence from serbia 20 years ago he then went into politics and became
