The Gupta family have hot-tailed it out of South Africa and are now holed up in Dubai. It is well over a year since the Emirate’s rulers said that they would start looking into the family’s involvement with high-end corruption in South Africa, which we call state capture, but there is still a Sahara-sized desert between the family and extradition.
They are gone with our money, but the son who served as the de facto marketing manager of the family, Atul Gupta, keeps an eye on South Africa and especially on the current hearings into Eskom before the commission of inquiry into state capture chaired by deputy chief justice Raymond Zondo. The family has refused to appear before the commission of inquiry, but they have applied to cross-examine witnesses, including the former deputy finance minister Mcebisi Jonas, who was the first witness to tell the commission how the family offered him the job of finance minister for a bribe of R600m over instalments, and dependent on how he met their key performance measures.
