Zuma admitted he was “an implicated person” in the report by the former Public Protector, a constitutionally mandated anti-graft watchdog

South Africa’s President Jacob Zuma has filed court papers to determine if an unreleased report into allegations of political interference by wealthy brothers Ajay, Atul and Rajesh Gupta is final, the report said on Wednesday.

In the affidavit that was published on the channel’s website on Wednesday said, Zuma admitted he was “an implicated person” in the report by the former Public Protector, a constitutionally mandated anti-graft watchdog.

Zuma has denied granting undue influence to the Guptas and they have denied seeking it.
