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 oncet allegations that he allowed cronies to loot state resources and influence senior government appointments during his 9 years in office be commission is probing widespread accusations including that members of a well the indian business family the book has influenced seumas 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 zuma choose the option allocations it's in the ses he has done nothing illegal. one of them said to that because margaret i'm a short. when i was sitting in my citizen with us what have i done we know he has

option to the country i didn't exactly shoot from a lawyer. because until action what what did that option to promote an. action join a 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 you must cool but is allowed there's nothing of that nature the corresponded to agent creation is in johannesburg where the corruption choir is taking place and he joins me now over the line hi adrian good to see you so so what do we know and from jacob zuma is for a 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 a 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 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 an 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 they 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 form prisoners in the press it on history yes and i want to get your

comment on that. 0. 000. 00. ok just so you just looking at that video one almost gets the impression that he's that he's an fazed by all of this but yet they i mean what was your sense of how was he is to me and i in the proceedings i mean it 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 huge impacts on his own life and of the life off his family but many people in the past his critics have been blaming zuma for 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 became involved in around about 999 in what is known as the arms deal this huge purchase of all response of the africa zuber 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 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 a child the positive. they asked me did you have protection in years 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 like bob 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 soaring pool the people were trying to protect syria 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 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 with zuma that he was appointing cabinet ministers that they said they want in place they were the ones kind of giving orders to zuma that is what is called state capture and there 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 with regards him is gone

he's not gone 1st of all they try 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 likely to happen when all of these proceedings are done well the commission india has no prosecuting powers basically in the end of the day they will just come up with the 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 an arm 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 agent creation johannes thanking the world health organizations chief saves the lasix case of ebola

in the democratic republic of congo is quote a possible game changer on sunday the country confirmed the 1st reported case of the virus in the eastern city of goma a man tested positive for the disease off to he returned from temple where he had been visiting ebola patients. this is. because of. many people he. told. the. new york. ok so now

goma is the biggest city been affected by the disease since its outbreak almost a year ago the outbreak originated near that some 300 kilometers north of but the virus has been gradually moving south and this latest discovery raises concerns that the virus could spread quicker in the densely populated area that's you see over there and shade that's close to the border now it has already become the 2nd deadliest outbreak in history 2500 people and killing more than 1600 people the u.n. is again convening a special committee to consider declaring the outbreak an international emergency. now africa's biggest football tournament comes to a head on friday with senegal facing algeria at the africa cup of nations final.
