Former ANC MP, Vytjie Mentor, returns to the stand at the Zondo Commission of Inquiry into state capture on Monday to finish her testimony and to be cross-examined.
In2016, she revealed how former president Jacob Zuma and his government were under the control of the fugitive Gupta family.
Mentor subsequently gave her explosive testimony at the commission in August last year, implicating the Guptas, Zuma, his son Duduzane, businessman Fana Hlongwane, and former Zuma aide Lakela Kaunda.
Commission chairperson Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo granted those implicated by Mentor, except the Guptas, permission to cross-examine the ex-MP.
Zondo refused to grant the Guptas permission to question witnesses as long as they refused to travel to South Africa and appear in person before the commission.
Mentor also told the commission that in 2010 she was offered the post of PublicEnterprises Minister, to replace Barbara Hogan, at the Gupta compound inSaxonwold, Johannesburg while Zuma was in the next room.
Zuma, who is heavily implicated by state capture witnesses, and recently in the Bosasa corruption scandal, is yet to officially indicate his willingness to cross-examine witnesses.
