Parliament: Minister Zwane and former Eskom CEO Dames provide opposing takes on State Capture

Mineral Resources Minister Mosebenzi Zwane on Wednesday made it clear he took exception to facing questions on State Capture, rather than “real issues that affect our people” and his department’s “many positives… nobody knows about because we are seized with this (State Capture) matter”. He expressed surprised at MPs’ invitation as State Capture was before the courts – the legal review of the public protector’s commission of inquiry brought by President Jacob Zuma starts next week – and “legal platforms” like the public protector, police and Parliament’s registrar of interests.
