President Cyril Ramaphosa appeared before the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture and Corruption in his capacity as the President and former Deputy President of the Republic of South Africa.
It was during Zuma's nine-year rule that the state suffered some of its worst graft -- known here as state capture -- driven mainly by a migrant Indian family, the Guptas, who were handed lucrative government contracts and influenced cabinet appointments.
Zuma began serving a 15-month jail term last month for bucking a court order to testify before the same anti-corruption inquiry. "We just went into an abyss and we are clawing our way back to the top, and in doing so we are determined to succeed and we will succeed," Ramaphosa said on Thursday.
