Former president Jacob Zuma is expected to appear for a second day at the commission of inquiry into state capture today, and is likely to "out" more people.

Zuma who had been implicated by several witnesses at the commission, told commission head Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo on Monday that he had been provoked to the last degree.

He told Zondo there had been a conspiracy since the 1990s to get rid of him at all costs.

He said this conspiracy against him has been stretched at all material times, even when there were things that had to be done or said.

He further said he had been a subject of talk in South Africa for more than a decade, and he was alleged to have been the king of corrupt people.
