Corruption was prevalent in South Africa under Jacob Zuma’s leadership, his successor Cyril Ramaphosa (above) has told an inquiry.

Appearing before a graft inquiry concerning the previous administration, the incumbent president, who served as Zuma’s deputy from 2014 to 2018, explained why he did not resign his position as a result of his party’s alleged misconduct.
