South African former President Jacob Zuma says he and his family received death threats after his testimony at an inquiry into corruption under his rule.
He told the judge-led inquiry on Tuesday that the threats had followed his testimony on the previous day.
In the earlier testimony, he said he had been the target of assassination attempts in the past.
He was forced from office in early 2018 amid widespread allegations of cronyism and abuse of power – which he denies.
Mr Zuma was replaced by his then deputy Cyril Ramaphosa, who promised to tackle corruption and described his predecessor’s nine years in office as “wasted”.
On Monday Mr Zuma, 77, said the allegations were part of a decades-long “conspiracy” to remove him from the political scene.
The inquiry is investigating allegations that Mr Zuma oversaw a web of corruption during his term in office.
The accusations focus on his relationship with the controversial Gupta family, which was accused of influencing cabinet appointments and winning lucrative state tenders through corruption.
Both Mr Zuma and the family deny any wrongdoing.
