Veteran politician Reverend Frank Chikane speaks out against state capture during an interview on November 14, 2017 in Johannesburg, South Africa. Chikane said he does not want comrades to wake up one day and realise they have been charged with treason.
The Guptas are alleged to be at the centre of state capture and were closely associated with former president Jacob Zuma. Theare reported to be currently residing in Dubai after fleeing the country as investigations into state capture intensified. Chikane said that looking at the family’s efforts to reach him and others who occupied key government positions suggests that this was an “intelligence operation” targeting these individuals with the intention to corrupt them and ultimately capture the state.“If such an intelligence operation was in place I would have been surprised if our national intelligence services missed it,” Chikane told the chairperson of the commission, Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo.
