Judge Dunstan Mlambo says President Jacob Zuma’s argument - that then Public Protector Thuli Madonsela could not recommend an inquiry be set up into #StateCapture - is not sustained.

Mlambo also ruled that another one of Zuma’s arguments - that Ethics act doesn’t allow for inquiry - was misconceived.

Judgment continues.
