Zuma consulting legal advisers to start state capture inquiry - Ramaphosa

President Jacob Zuma is currently busy consulting with legal advisers to find ways of setting up a commission of inquiry into state capture, said Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa. 

Ramaphosa was responding to a question from the ANC’s Mondli Gungubele who asked him how government intends on restoring confidence in state-owned entities, following reports of state capture by corporates.

Ramaphosa said he personally supports an independent judicial inquiry into allegations of state capture so that the veracity of the claims can be tested and those implicated have an opportunity to clear their names.
