and i will go out and they will not succeed in dividing us so don't not succeed in taking the people off the streets because we're tired of these dictatorships. taking a stand global news that matters. made for mines. this is the news africa coming up in the next 15 minutes zuma has his say south africa's former president if he is before a corruption inquiry probing allegations off prof's jaring his tenure but jacob zuma say's he's been vilified and is the victim of a character assassination campaign by enemies seeking his downfall. and congo confirms the 1st came softly bowling in the open city of goma tell you why the world health organization say's that's a game changer. hello

i'm christine. we begin in south africa where former president jacob zuma has appeared before a corruption inquiry to oncet allegations that he allowed cronies to loot state resources and influence senior government to point during his now he is in office they commissioned his probing widespread accusations including that members of a wealthy indian business family the book has influenced seumas appointment of habit ministers and subsequently received lucrative state contracts is a phenomenon popularly known in the country as state several witnesses including all the ministers who have appeared before the commission have directly linked zuma choose and allegations in the ses he has done nothing illegal. one of them. said that cousin michael dimock showed when i was sitting in my citizen with us he

us what have i done we know he has action to the country i didn't exactly shoot from a lawyer. because until action what what do they option to put monckton. action joint to spec i don't feel the money suggested the one i'm sitting now so much as option the cunt that's why we we said it was cool but is allowed is nothing of that nature. corresponded to agent creation is in johannesburg way the corruption choir is taking place and he joins me now over the light hydrant gets a c. so what did we learn from jacob zuma 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 earlier 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 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 we will see. them 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 prism a post it will former prisoners and of course it on history yes and i want to get your comment on that. oh. ok this is just looking at that video one almost gets the impression that he's that he's and fazed by all of this but yet they i mean what was your sense of how 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 as critics have

been blaming were just laughing off all problems that the country was facing and not really addressing them one of them is jonathan. 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 zoom was 2002 became involved in around about 999 in what is known as the arms deal this huge purchase of all respond so the africa zeroes 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 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 are severely 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 odds of infection so the light bulb goes on for me and then suddenly the zoo mashallah thing has 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 a but also a big soaring pool the people were trying to protect zuma including his ministers were saying that they needed this pool as

a fire prevention pool 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 that 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 was. 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 a 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 divulge it was gone he's not gone 1st of all they're trying to recapture secondly that that shower is with us. ok adrian so as we hear from jonathan shapiro they 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 a final report and then handed over to the relevant authorities who could then possibly take action but at the same time parallelly facing another court case about it i'm still 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 until the courts and south africans can really establish what is really happens under the watch of jacob zuma ok that's age increase in johannesburg and. the world health organizations chief ses the latest case of
