Will he, won't he? Zuma due back at State Capture inquiry, but will he pitch? Former president Jacob Zuma Zondo Commision Share This: A legal expert explains what the legal consequences may be for Jacob Zuma should he ignore the Commission's summons to appear. Former President Jacob Zuma is due before the State Capture Commission this morning (Monday), but his lawyers say he won't be making an appearance until his application at the Constitutional Court - requesting the recusal of the chair of the inquiry - is heard. Zuma made the application at the apex court last year after Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo refused to excuse himself from testimonial proceedings concerning the former head of state.
