South Africa: Jacob Zuma report points to possible corruption

2 November 2016 Africa

An investigation into South Africa's President Jacob Zuma has found evidence of possible corruption at the top level of his government.

In the report, former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela recommends Mr Zuma establish a judicial commission of inquiry within 30 days.

Mr Zuma is accused of an improper relationship with wealthy businessmen.

He had tried to block the release of the report, but dropped his court bid on Wednesday.

The president and ANC leader has been dogged by corruption allegations for more than a decade, but has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
