“He’s the only one who has come to my little village called Nkandla to see what it looks like,” Zuma recalled.
“Indeed we had a good time.”
Zuma said he has become worried about comrades dying.
“The report that the family gave me, has a lot of gaps,” he said.
“I hope investigations will clarify this matter.”

Zuma said the state capture inquiry was used to destroy Watson.
He said Watson’s death comes at a time when he was preparing to go before the commission to clear his name.
“I want to say to comrade Gavin goodbye. I feel bad to say goodbye to younger comrades,” he said before singing his trademark song “Umshini wami”.

The CEO of AGO died last week in a car crash.
Questions still linger about the crash.
