Former home affairs minister Malusi Gigaba’s decision to grant the Gupta family citizenship was"incorrect" and should be looked into by the state-capture inquiry, says a draft report by the home affairs portfolio committee published in parliament on Monday.
The former president had abdicated his powers to the family, former finance minister Trevor Manuel told the Zondo commission in February. Gigaba resigned from the cabinet in 2018, a day before President Cyril Ramaphosa was to take action against him following a public protector’s finding that he had violated the constitution and the executive code of ethics by lying under oath.
The leaked Gupta e-mails suggest senior home affairs official Major Kobese was the Guptas’ point man in the home affairs foreign office in India. He is said to have received requests and instructions from Chawla by e-mail to fast-track the Guptas’ permits and made sure the requests were attended to. In the draft report, the committee says the procedures for the verification of supporting documentation used in the applications for citizenship and particularly early naturalisation were not sufficiently rigorous or enforced and this allowed for fraud and corruption.The report says that former home affairs director-general Mkuseli Apleni failed in his oversight role as an accounting officer in terms of the Public Finance Management Act.

Malusi Gigaba ‘must face inquiry’ over Guptas’ citizenshipThe home affairs portfolio committee finds procedures not sufficiently rigorous or enforced and this allowed for fraud and corruption In a case like this, who should take the blame? Is it the head of administration or the Executing Authority? My view is that the Executing Authority would have been advised on policy issues & the effect of compliance or non compliance thereof. hope that inquiry will help,how many inquiries I've ever heard in south Africa since 2009,any action taken? no, he should face criminal charges
