Zuma-Gupta scandal must be probed - Corruption Watch
17 March 2016
Cape Town – The ongoing controversy between President Jacob Zuma and the Gupta family is a betrayal of South Africans' trust, Corruption Watch said on Thursday.
The organisation called for an immediate investigation into allegations that the Gupta family had offered Cabinet posts to various ANC members.
This was after Deputy Finance Minister Mcebisi Jonas on Wednesday confirmed that the Gupta family, known for their close ties with Zuma, had offered him the finance ministry post, and that he had declined.
Former ANC MP Vytjie Mentor claimed on Facebook this week that the Guptas had also offered her the job of public enterprises minister when Barbara Hogan was removed from the position. She claimed Zuma was in another room at the Gupta's Saxonwold home at the time.
