Testifying at the Zondo inquiry into state capture on Thursday, Manuel said that when these controls were removed and reckless spending occurred, the poor were directly affected. “When there is reckless spending, almost inevitably, people who are dependent on public services, the poor, are denied access. In the context of state capture, it is actually an endeavour to remove those kind of controls.” Manuel began his testimony by outlining the importance of the president’s oath of office.
