Opposition parties are calling
for a judicial inquiry into the Gupta family’s involvement in affairs of state
and say that Parliament should also launch its own investigation.
The calls came in response to
Deputy Finance Minister Mcebisi Jonas confirming that the Guptas had offered
him the position of finance minister shortly before his then boss, Nhlanhla
Nene, was sacked by President Jacob Zuma.
The Gupta family swiftly
repeated its denial that there was any offer to Jonas, citing internal
divisions within the African National Congress, but opposition parties are
gearing for battle.
The Inkatha Freedom Party’s
Narend Singh has called for a judicial commission of inquiry into the Gupta’s
apparent hold over the president.
