Zuma to release further details on arms inquiry

President Jacob Zuma on Monday said he would soon release further details on the arms deal commission of inquiry.

“We will release further details as soon as we have concluded the preparatory process,” said Zuma.

He was speaking during a business breakfast in Sandton on Monday morning organised by the New Age newspaper and SABC.

The session was organised to give the president the opportunity to update the country about the progress that Zuma’s administration had made since the state of the nation address, at the start of the year.

Zuma recently announced he would set up a commission of inquiry into South Africa's controversial multi-million rand arms deal.

The commission's terms of reference still had to be released, and it was not yet known who would preside over inquiry.
