A judicial inquiry into alleged corruption at the top levels of government opened on Monday. But it doesn鈥檛 have powers to arrest anybody or seize assets.

It will examine claims of fraud in the public sector during former President Jacob Zuma's time in office.

Zuma was accused of being under the influence of the wealthy Gupta family. 

It鈥檚 estimated billions of dollars of state funds were stolen using corrupt practices.

But how far can the investigation go?
