JOHANNESBURG: A South African commission hearing testimonies about rampant state corruption during Jacob Zuma’s reign said on Monday that it would ask police to investigate the former president after he walked out last week.
After months of playing cat-and-mouse, Zuma appeared before the panel last week seeking what he called an "impartial" judge, demanding that the commission’s chair, deputy chief justice Raymond Zondo, recuse himself. But Zondo tossed out his application on Thursday, saying it "failed to meet the test for a reasonable apprehension of bias."
