acob Zuma favoured the Guptas and contravened the Constitution and the Executive Members' Ethics Act, according to their dealings with the SABC.
Corruption-accused former president Jacob Zuma favoured the Guptas over other business people, the evidence of their dealings with the SABC showed, according to the Zondo Commission's findings. He also recommended that former SABC CEO Lulama Mokhobo and Motsoeneng be investigated for contraventions of the Public Finance Management Act .
The commission found it is"most probable" that Motsoeneng's"gross abuse of power at the SABC, including diverting public resources vested in the SABC to benefit the Guptas' rival media company" was sanctioned by Muthambi and Zuma. "I find the evidence of Ms Muthambi unconvincing, to say the least. She knew quite well she had unauthorised communications with the Guptas, and for that reason, did not disclose to the mentioned court who she has consulted with." Zondo also rejected Muthambi's version that the Guptas were"innocent stakeholders".
"He, as president, abused his office for his own benefit, that of his son and that of his friends, the Guptas. He placed himself in a situation of a conflict of interest and abused his position as president of the country.
