A lawyer for the former South African President says he felt Mr. Zuma was being questioned unfairly.

Lawyer Muzi Sikhakhane told a judicial inquiry that Mr. Zuma had been subject to "relentless cross-examination." 

Zuma has denied any wrongdoing with his friends the Guptas, who won lucrative state contracts during his time as President.

On the first day of this testimony, Zuma claimed that he had been the victim of a plot by foreign intelligences services and the apartheid government to get rid of him.
