In a further accusation of former President Jacob Zuma, the latest report by the commission of inquiry into state capture has found that Zuma was prepared to do anything requested by the controversial Gupta family, which has fled from South Africa. The fourth part of the investigations into the plots that led to the looting of South Africa's state coffers during the presidency of Jacob Zuma (2009-2018) was handed over to the presidency on Friday. According to the report, "the Guptas set up a plan to take over Eskom" and former president Jacob Zuma was "a key player" in interfering in their favour in the composition of the board. "It is clear that from the beginning of his first term in office, President Zuma did everything the Guptas wanted," Judge Zondo said. After taking over from Zuma, he estimated that about 30 billion euros (500 billion rand) had been embezzled and made corruption his focus.
