To 'overZumanise' the state capture commision would be the 'biggest mistake' - Jonas

Former deputy finance minister Mcebisi Jonas told the state capture commission of inquiry that it would be"the biggest mistake to think the commission was about former president Jacob Zuma.

Jonas appeared before the commission for the second time to complete his statement and to be cross-examined by the legal teams representing Zuma's son, Duduzane, and businessman Fana Hlongwane.Jonas previously testified that the Gupta family offered him R600 000 in cash during a meeting at their residence in Saxonwold, Johannesburg in October 2015.

Jonas said when he came to the commission he knew it was a public platform and he had his confidence back. He disputed the assertion that there was no Gupta brother at the meeting at Saxonwold, insisting that a Gupta brother remained"for the larger part" of the meeting.During cross-examination by Duduzane Zuma's advocate Piet Louw, Jonas was asked why his statement to the Public Protector contained inconsistencies.
