South Africa's Zuma says all ministers appointed by him

South African
President Jacob Zuma said on Thursday that all
cabinet ministers were appointed by him, responding
to allegations that a wealthy family close to him
had influence over political appointments.
South Africa's government was rocked on
Wednesday when Deputy Finance Minister Mcebisi
Jonas said the Gupta family offered him the
position of finance minister.
Zuma denied any involvement.
"If Jonas says he was offered by the Guptas, I think
you will be well-placed to ask the Guptas, or Jonas.
Don't ask me. Where do I come in?" Zuma said in
response to questions in parliament.
"I never offered Jonas the ministry. That's why he is
the deputy minister."
