Just in: Jacob Zuma has dropped a bombshell. Zuma has decided to withdraw this attempt to review the state capture inquiry.
What does this mean for Jacob Zuma?
Well basically… it means that Mr Zuma has given up the fight to choose who leads the investigation into his dirty little dealings with the Gupta family. Is this pure arrogance?
Who knows!
But what we do know is that it leaves JZ with almost no plan regarding the handling of this inquiry.
President Jacob Zuma has just abandoned his proposal that #statecapture should go back to the public protector for further investigation.
