Zuma to release Oilgate report in December

President Jacob Zuma will release the report of the Donen Commission of Inquiry into the involvement of South Africans in the Iraq oil-for-food programme, his office said on Tuesday.

Spokesperson Mac Maharaj said the report would be released in recognition of the public interest in the subject matter.

The Donen report allegedly implicates deputy minister Kgalema Motlanthe and Housing Minister Tokyo Sexwale in unethical and possibly illegal activities. Both are seen as potential challengers to Zuma's presidency of the ANC in the run-up to the party's electoral conference in Mangaung next year. [Mail&Guardian]
