Under cross-examination of evidence leader Vincent Maleka on Monday, Manyi first said he did not know if the Guptas were implicated, and then said he “struggled to find evidence to corroborate the claim” that the Guptas were incriminated.

Manyi said most of the witnesses had been “poetic” in their testimony.
