Politicising the Zondo Commission needs to stop, says civil society

A joint statement by eleven civil society organizations condemning former president Jacob Zuma's defiance of the State Capture Commission (Zondo Commission) and his attacks on the judiciary.

• Civil society representatives condemn former president Jacob Zuma for defying the State Capture Commission and launching attacks against the judiciary without providing supporting evidence.
• The signatories argue that Zuma's insistence on immunity from the commission and the Constitutional Court constitutes a harmful assault on the constitutional principle that all citizens are equal before the law.
• The statement expresses support for the Zondo Commission's mandate and calls for an end to the politicization of the process, noting that the commission is public-funded and supported by activists, whistle-blowers, and community leaders.
