Former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela says she cannot understand why Duduzane Zuma “lied” to the state capture commission when he testified Monday that she had failed to give him the opportunity to respond to damning state capture claims against him, Business Day reported.
Madonsela reportedly said that investigators had even offered to travel to Dubai to speak to him on matters relating to the controversial and corruption-linked Gupta family
Duduzane, however, said he was never given the right of reply.
“This is the first time I am being asked these questions. I was not given an opportunity by the Public Protector,” former president Jacob Zuma’s son told the Commission.
Madonsela said Duduzane was given numerous opportunities to respond to the allegations before her report was released, from as early as the beginning of September 2016, according to The Citizen.
“He’s lying and I don’t know why.”
