The Democratic Alliance wants a full inquiry into Zuma’s family deals following reports that members have benefited from business contracts with the state since the President assumed office.

DA parliamentary leader Athol Trollip says the aim is not to prejudice Zuma’s family or anyone affiliated to him.

Trollip says the inquiry should ensure that constitutional provisions of individual rights and freedoms are entrenched.


The Presidency issued a statement in response yesterday reiterating that Zuma makes his annual declaration of interests to the Secretary of Cabinet.

This includes the interests of his spouses and dependants.

The Presidency has stressed that the properties and assets of Zuma’s adult children need not be declared and are not his responsibility or liability.
