Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo seemed confused with parts of Fana Hlongwane's testimony about what was discussed at the meeting in Saxonwold.
Hlongwane has been implicated by Jonas with claims that he was present at the infamous meeting in Saxonwold at the Gupta residence where Jonas was allegedly offered R600 million.

Duduzane Zuma spent the past two days presenting several versions of events that dispute the evidence earlier submitted to the state capture commission.
The son of former President Jacob Zuma had expressed concern during his appearance at the inquiry over how his evidence would be handled.
He explained that the arrest was necessitated by statements made by former deputy finance minister Mcebisi Jonas that he along with members of the Gupta family tried to bribe him for a ministerial position.
