with. the music. from the 1st 2019 from september 6th to september 29th. this is the news africa coming up in the next 15 minutes zuma has his say south africa's former president appears before a corruption inquiry probing allegations off during his tenure but jacob zuma say is he's being vilified and is the victim of a character essence the nation campaign by any means seeking his downfall. and congo confirms the 1st case of a bona in the urban city of. tell you why the world health organization say is that a game changer.

hello i'm christine wonder i'm glad your chin did we begin in south africa where former president jacob zuma has appeared before a corruption inquiry to answer allegations that he allowed cronies to loot state resources and influence senior government appointments during his 9 years in office they commissioned his probing widespread accusations including that members of a well the indian business family the test influence soon as appointment of heaven ministers and subsequently received lucrative state contracts is a phenomena and popularly known in the country as state capture several witnesses including all the ministers who have appeared before the commission have directly linked symmetry option allegations and soon to say he's done nothing illegal. one of them. said that doesn't like what i'm assured when who is singing my

citizenry us us what have i done we know he has action to the country i didn't exaggeration from a lawyer. become to do action what what did i option to put monckton. action joint to spec i don't feel the money since it was the one i'm sitting now so much as option the cunt that's why we we said it was cool but is allowed it's nothing of that nature. corresponded to agent creation is in johannesburg where the corruption choir is taking place and he joins me now over there live hydrant good to see you so so what we know and from jacob zuma is 1st stay at the commission of inquiry today. well he basically did what many observers expected him to do he basically portrayed

himself as a victim of the big conspiracy theory against him and this is also what a lot of his supporters away here were telling me saying it's a media conspiracy there's nothing there's no evidence what so ever but the facts are basically looking a little bit the other way there's been several witnesses before that to have talking to the commission saying yes pointing the finger and basically for full wrongdoing in several cases so it's going to be quite exciting days ahead so there will be cross examinations in the next days and. will say then because many people have the feeling he doesn't take things very serious and he doesn't feel responsible for anything he doesn't feel accountable for anything and this is actually the impression people had over the last years of jacob zuma remember these corruption allegations have been swirling around him for a very long time several corruption allegations he always brush them off yeah that's right i did and you just bring up the point about him not taking things seriously i want to have a look at a video of prisoners in

a post it will form prisoners and of course it on history yes and i want to get your comment on that. ok just so you just looking at that video one almost this impression that he's that he's and fazed by all of this but you did they i mean what was your sense of how was he is demeanor in the proceedings i mean was he just not serious throughout the process. well i mean yes of course this video is quite a funny thing but you could see clearly today when he was talking to the justice and that this thing is personal for him he was actually also saying that this is very personal not only for him but also for his family it has use impacts on his own life and of the life off his family but many people in the past his critics

have been blaming just laughing off all problems that the country was facing and not really addressing them one of them as jonathan shapiro is a pure a very popular cartoonist i met him earlier to talk with him about jacob zuma because he's been criticizing him for a long period no. fervently want to see him in jail. but i would absolutely love it the very 1st corruption cartoon that i did of zuma was 2002 become involved in around about 999 in what is known as the arms deal this huge purchase of. the africa zoomer was centrally involved even though he's corrupt he manages to become. president in 2007 and then he's got to get these corruption charges that have been dogging him for a few years he's got to get them dropped jacob zuma. is

a strange character i think you always had a dark side to put a shower on his head the 1st time i did that for aids prevention there was suddenly this rape trial he was lucky to get off he said some bizarre things during the testimony he knew that she was hiv positive. they asked me did you have protection you can use do you worry about being infected and he said not really he said i had a shower why to listen much answer of infection so the lightbulb would present for me and then suddenly the zoo mashallah things become bigger than anything i could have imagined he was building his own personal residence using public money not only this massive sprawling compound of houses but also a big swimming pool the people who are trying to protect including his ministers were saying that they needed this pool as

a fire prevention pool fire who he managed with his cronies to capture the country zuma and his buddies the captors in particular the family from india which they were not even from here there they'd been cultivating him and he'd been cultivating them since. the mid ninety's in around about 2016 we started to realise that they were so influential observer that he was appointing cabinet ministers and they said they want in place. they were the ones kind of giving orders to zuma that is what is called state capture and that is absolute dynamite there are number of commissions of inquiry running as we speak the one is the biggest one is the commission of inquiry into state capture i do believe that unless he goes to jail we won't ever come out of this thing properly

people say to me what are you going to do the zoo is gone he's not gone 1st of all they're trying to recapture secondly that shower is with us. ok adrian so as we hear from jonathan shapiro there the charges against him a go back a very long time what's life it's a happen when all of these proceedings are done well the commission has no prosecuting powers basically in the end of the day they will just come up with the fine the report and then handed over to the relevant authorities who could then possibly take action but at the same time zuma is apparently facing another court case about an obstacle he was allegedly involved in all these things will still take a very long time so it will take a long time and a long process on so the courts and south africans can really establish what is really happens under the watch of jacob zuma ok that's a huge increase in johannesburg thank you the world health organization's chief say
