NATIONAL NEWS - Former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela says while she welcomes President Jacob Zuma's decision to appoint a commission of inquiry into state capture she is concerned about how late his decision has come.
The president made the announcement during a recorded broadcast on Monday night, saying he wants government to be seen dismantling corruption instead of supporting it.
This is despite the many times that he has challenged the Public Protector's report in court, saying that it was hurried and that its recommendations were unconstitutional.
In his announcement on Tuesday, Zuma says he decided to agree to appointing a commission of inquiry while he seeks further legal advice on the prosecution of his appeal.
