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.
