The Democratic Alliance said
the Guptagate press conference was an exercise in damage control.
Justice Minister Jeff Radebe briefed the media on the Gupta debacle, stating that five officials have been suspended.
DA MP of Defence and Military
Veterans David Maynier said it’s hard to believe that not even one minister or
deputy minister in six departments knew anything about the Gupta’s plane to
land at AFB Waterkloof.
Maynier said that the Minister claims that
everybody who was involved will be investigated, whatever position they hold.
Maynier added that it is almost
dead certain that the senior officials will not be investigating the ministers
and deputy ministers who are ultimately responsible for what has now become
known as Guptagate.
Furthermore Maynier said that
is why they a full scale parliamentary investigation by an adhoc committee of
parliament into Guptgate.
