Johannesburg, January 5
The first report of the much-awaited South African Commission of Inquiry into State Capture has confirmed the influence that former President Jacob Zuma had in supporting the now-defunct newspaper The New Age (TNA) started by the Gupta brothers, who fled the country after looting billions from state enterprises.
TNA was started by the three Gupta brothers, Ajay, Atul and Rajesh, originally from Uttar Pradesh’s Saharanpur, who are now believed to be in self-exile in Dubai as South African authorities seek their extradition to face criminal charges. The report, which was made public on Tuesday evening after President Cyril Ramaphosa received it from Commission chairperson, Acting Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, also said that Guptas wielded great influence over Zuma. — PTI
