The role of the breakup process of the weakly bounded light projectile ${}^{9}\mathrm{Be},$ on the near barrier fusion reaction and elastic scattering, is investigated by two different approaches. The fusion cross sections for the ${}^{9}\mathrm{Be}{+}^{64}\mathrm{Zn}$ system were compared with the ones from other similar systems (the ${}^{16}\mathrm{O}{+}^{64}\mathrm{Zn}$ and ${}^{14}\mathrm{N}{+}^{59}\mathrm{Co}).$ The measurement of the elastic scattering for this system was also used to study the threshold anomaly. There are indications that the fusion suppression due to the ${}^{9}\mathrm{Be}$ breakup is not important for the interaction of ${}^{9}\mathrm{Be}$ with this medium mass target.
