While President Jacob Zuma was abroad, the finance minister was served with a summons that will see him charged. Does that mean the president, being away, was not involved in the affair, asks the writer. Picture credit: SIMPHIWE NKWALI

Outgoing public protector Thuli Madonsela is going all out to complete her latest probe into President Jacob Zuma before she packs up her desk in October‚ the Sunday Times reported.

This time she is probing Zuma for allegedly allowing the Gupta family to influence his appointment of cabinet ministers and heads of state-owned entities.

A month before she is due to vacate her office‚ Madonsela this week confirmed she had written to Zuma informing him of her investigation into him breaching the executive code of conduct — for the third time.

To build her case against Zuma‚ the Sunday Times reported‚ Madonsela has set out to interview no fewer than 23 top officials and members of Zuma’s cabinet‚ among them seven ministers‚ a deputy minister and a former MP.
