JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Jacob Zuma, unseated as South African president last year over corruption allegations, will attend a judicial inquiry into government graft during his tenure even though he believes it is prejudiced against him, his lawyer said.

Zuma's African National Congress party forced him to step down in February 2018 after years in office marked by a succession of scandals and economic decline.
