Phala Phala: ANC has already forgotten lessons learnt with state capture
27 September 2022
The lessons learnt with state capture have seemingly already been forgotten even though the ink on the judicial inquiry report is still wet.
As regards state capture, South Africa's intelligence services indicated in 2009 already that the Gupta family poses a serious security risk for South Africa.
On 30 April 2010, the Mail & Guardian reported in the government's irregular involvement in the Guptas' New Age newspaper.
On 2 March 2011, it was already widely known that the Guptas had been rewarded for their political and financial support to former President Jacob Zuma.
