Embattled Zuma vows to skip state capture inquiry

South Africa's former President Jacob Zuma has said he will no longer appear before a commission investigating corruption during his presidency.
 

The inquiry, known as the Zondo Commission, was established to investigate the "state capture" scandal during Mr Zuma's tenure as president.

The scandal revolves around allegations that the wealthy Gupta family, who are close friends of the former president, used their relationship to unfairly secure millions worth of dollars of government contracts.
