State Capture Report: Commission of Inquiry should be appointed
Former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela's report into state capture recommends that a commission of inquiry be appointed to look into possible crimes.
President Jacob Zuma has 30 days to appoint a commission of inquiry headed by a judge recommended by the Chief Justice.
This judge will have the power to appoint his/her own staff which should then be resourced by the National Treasury.
The report recommends that the commission of inquiry complete its task and present the report with findings and recommendations to the President within 180 days.
The Public Protector says in the report it appears crimes may have been committed and wil alert the National Prosecuting Authority and the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks).

The appointment of Nhlanhla Nene as Finance Minister
On the question of whether the President allowed the Guptas or his son Duduzane to be involved in the appointment and removal of ministers - Madonsela says it's worrying that the Gupta family may have been aware that former Finance Minister Nene was removed six weeks after his deputy Mcebisi Jonas informed him that he was approached by the family.
Jonas later claimed he was offered the post of Finance Minister in exchange for extending favours to the family's businesses.
Madonsela says it's equally worrying that Cooperative Governance Minister Des van Rooyen can be placed at the Gupta's Saxonworld home at least seven times before he briefly replaced Nene.
She adds the visits appear odd, as Van Rooyen was at that stage a Member of Parliament in Cape Town.
