Duduzane Zuma interview with BBC

On why he is a business partner of the Guptas

Duduzane Zuma: I don’t think they wanted anything from me. They liked me. As I liked them. I think I’m a likeable guy!

Why did they like you, do you think?

Duduzane Zuma: That’s a question that you’ll have to ask them. I don’t know. I think I’m a likeable guy. There’s nothing untoward about it. There’s no unpacking the relationship and what was in it for them, what was in it for me. It was just a meeting of minds – they understood me, I understood them.

You don’t look back and say, maybe they wanted me because I’m the son of the president?

Duduzane Zuma: I look back and I think I’m glad I met these guys and I’m glad we are where we are today.

And then we had this bolt out of the blue, where the deputy minister of finance, Mcebisi Jonas, comes out and tells the public that he was offered a bribe by the Guptas in your presence. Were you present that day – was Mcebisi Jonas offered a bribe by the Guptas?

Duduzane Zuma: Mr Jonas was not offered a bribe by the Guptas. I did meet them. I was present. There was no such thing that took part.

So what was the purpose of his visit then?

Duduzane Zuma: It wasn’t a visit per se, it was a meeting that was arranged from my side to sort out certain issues that had nothing to do with the Guptas or any other related people.

So you are clear – it’s either you are telling the truth or he is lying.

Duduzane Zuma: That’s absolutely correct.

So which is it?

Duduzane Zuma: I’m telling the truth.

You are the son of the South African president and you are here in Dubai – why are you here? Do you have a property here?

Duduzane Zuma: [Laughs] Firstly, I’m on business here. Secondly, Dubai is a wonderful place and I’m you would agree. Thirdly, I do not have a property in Dubai. I do not own an apartment in the Burj Khalifa.

Does your father own a house and apartment here?

Duduzane Zuma: My father owns a house. It’s in Nkandla. His area is called Nkandla. It’s in northern KwaZulu-Natal. In Dubai he does not own any property whatsoever.

Did the Guptas buy a property on his behalf?

Duduzane Zuma: I think my father is a grown man [and] does not need anyone buying any properties on his behalf, including myself.

But there’s no property under a company that is linked to you or linked to the Guptas perhaps on your behalf? I just want to clarify that because that has been in the media for many weeks now.

Duduzane Zuma: I do not own any property. My father does not own any property in this beautiful country – or beautiful city, should I say. And as far as I’m concerned, I mean, the Guptas have three brothers, I’m not sure if there are any other Guptas in this wonderful place but none of us own any properties.

I hope that, because you know the importance of these issues, perhaps you would allow me a little bit of leniency in asking this question – Mr Zuma, are you corrupt?

Duduzane Zuma: Mr Nkosi, I’m not corrupt. I’m not corrupt. I’ve not involved myself in any corrupt practice, in any corrupt business.

Are you concerned that you may be, in the end, locked up following all these allegations, going to prison for corruption? Does that cross your mind?

Duduzane Zuma: It just crossed my mind now. It’s the first time … I don’t know if you saw it crossing my mind but it’s gone! [Laughs] No.

It doesn’t cross your mind?

Duduzane Zuma: Why should it? It just crossed it now, since you mentioned it. I actually saw it crossing now and it’s gone.

Duduzane Zuma’s culpable homicide case postponed

Updated: 2018-08-23

The defence in the culpable homicide case of Duduzane Zuma has been given more time to study dockets, leading to the postponement of the case in the Randburg Magistrate’s Court.

Prosecutor Yusuf Baba said the defence did not have enough time to study the dockets, which were handed to them last Friday.

The matter was postponed to October 26 for the defence to clarify pre-trial issues.

Zuma and his father, former president Jacob Zuma, appeared happy and jolly before proceedings got under way, cracking jokes and asking journalists how they were doing.

Presidential security guards later escorted them out of the court and, before the former president got into the car, he waved and said: “Bye bye.”

In July, the case was postponed for the disclosure of inquest proceedings and content of the docket.

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) summoned Zuma to court after deciding to go ahead with the prosecution.

The State declined to do so in July 2014, citing insufficient evidence.

The case related to a car accident that occurred in February 2014, when Zuma crashed into a taxi after losing control of his Porsche on the Grayston Drive off-ramp, on the M1 north of Johannesburg.

Denied any wrongdoing

Phumzile Dube was killed instantly, while three others were injured.

A second woman, Jeanette Mashaba, died weeks later. However, during an inquest, it was found that her death was not a result of the accident and that she had died in hospital of natural causes.

NPA Gauteng spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane said they were committed to finalise the matter as soon as possible. Mjonondwane said they hoped that there were no further delays.

News24 previously reported that Zuma denied any wrongdoing in both the culpable homicide case and a corruption case, which is being heard in the Johannesburg Commercial Crimes Court.

Zuma was charged with corruption, alternatively conspiracy to commit corruption, relating to an alleged R600m offer made to former deputy finance minister Mcebisi Jonas in 2015 by Ajay Gupta.

The State alleged that Gupta offered Jonas the position of finance minister at the family’s Saxonwold compound.

Jonas claimed he refused the offer and left.

The State alleges that Zuma was party to the crime because he was present.

The matter was postponed to January 24, 2019.
