The commission released a media statement notifying the public that the legal proceedings would include chairperson of the commission Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo hearing an application put forward by the commission’s legal team to issue an order that former president Jacob Zuma be summoned to appear.
If the application is successful, Zuma will be summoned to appear before the commission from 27 January to 31 January. It is not clear on what issues he will be asked to give further testimony.
