The Commission of Inquiry into Allegations of State Capture on Tuesday explained that chairperson Chief Justice Raymond Zondo wanted a final opportunity for quality assurance before submitting the final part of the Commission's report on State capture to President Cyril Ramaphosa.

The report was expected to be handed over to Ramaphosa last Wednesday. However, Zondo informed Ramaphosa on Thursday that the report would be delayed.

The commission then stated that the electronic report will be submitted to the President on Sunday night. This did not happen.
 
On Monday morning, Ramaphosa and Zondo had a brief telephone call in which Zondo "offered reassurance on the delivery of the report and discussed the coordination for the handover ceremony".

Secretary of the Commission Professor Itumeleng Mosala said, on behalf of Zondo, that contrary to reports on social media, Zondo and Ramaphosa did not have any meeting on Monday.

He also said Ramaphosa did not interfere with the work of the commission in any way.

“The chairperson regrets any inconvenience caused by the delay and the postponement. The chairperson just wanted to have one final opportunity for quality assurance as he was at the JSC interview yesterday and could not do that quality assurance until sometime in the afternoon,” said Mosala said.

The report is now expected to be handed over to Ramaphosa on Wednesday.
