“Everybody that we subpoenaed did not come to the committee. We are not going to give those people any chance to come to the committee. They have already undermined the committee. We don’t have to go as low as they are.”
The inquiry by Parliament’s portfolio committee on public enterprises into Eskom will not subpoena Duduzane Zuma to testify. “The committee has done its work. We are not going to subpoena him‚” chairperson Zukiswa Rantho said on Monday.
She added that it was Parliament and not the portfolio committee on public enterprises that had previously subpoenaed Zuma and that it was up to Parliament if they wanted to subpoena him again.
National Assembly Speaker Baleka Mbete advised the committee that if individual committee members wanted to take further action‚ they could do so by opening a case at a police station.
Duduzane Zuma arrived back in South Africa to attend the weekend funeral of his younger brother‚ Vusi. He was briefly detained at OR Tambo International Airport when he arrived and questioned.
The son of former president Jacob Zuma was released on R100‚000 bail on Monday after being charged with alleged “state capture” corruption for “offering an unauthorised gratification to a public figure”.
