In a statement on Tuesday, the commission said Zondo wished to provide clarity on the reasons for the delay.
Some of the speculation centred around the criminal case that was opened against Ramaphosa in which former State Security Agency boss Arthur Fraser accused the president of covering up the 2020 theft of $4 million from his Phala Phala game farm. On Monday, DA leader John Steenhuisen said it was deeply disturbing that Zondo had met with Ramaphosa ahead of the release of the final instalment of the report."There were extensive extensions given to the Zondo Commission to produce these reports, and I think South Africa and the opposition have been very patient with that. But it now emerges there was an opportunity where the president and Judge Zondo met to discuss the timing of the release of this report," Steenhuisen said.
